Patients are advised to wait about 2 weeks before resuming strenuous activity. However, if something feels uncomfortable, give it another day before starting on the exercises.
Whilst the fat is permanently removed, the healing process requires patience. Rigorous exercise before your body is ready can affect results by prolonging bruising or swelling. Read the previous page for what are the risks involved in liposuction and what can't the procedure do.

You should leave all garments and dressings intact overnight and until you reach the office the following morning. Upon arrival to the office you will be escorted to a private examination room where your dressings will be changed and your operative sites will be evaluated. After your examination, you will be placed back into your compression garment and you will be allowed to return to your recovery retreat or back to your home.
All of your questions will be answered and you will be given instructions for the following week. The results of your surgery will typically be obscured by swelling and bruising at one week after surgery. In fact, you may even notice during the first week or two after your surgery that your weight has actually increased and some of your clothes may feel even tighter than they did before surgery.
Do not be alarmed, this is completely normal and is due to swelling and added water weight. All of this water adds temporary extra weight and volume to your body. Even though most patients can return to work and drive their own vehicles within a few days after surgery, you may still need someone to drive you to your first few post-operative visits. If you are in good physical condition, your recovery from liposuction may be somewhat easier and quicker because I find that physical activity after liposuction tends to promote healing, improve bruising and reduce swelling.
If you are returning to some exercise, whether sit-ups or weights, and it is still very sore, then I would advise you to wait several more days or possibly even a week until returning to the same activity. Although exercising will not adversely affect your end result, it may temporarily cause more swelling after the exercise that will subside over the next few hours.
The majority of my liposuction patients are back to their regular workout routine within a couple of weeks after their surgery. Each surgeon has his or her preference and philosophy in regards to wearing compression garments after a liposuction procedure. Like bile acid, the acid in these injections dissolves fat cells. The FDA has approved these injections to treat a double chin. We are born with a certain number of fat cells.
No matter how much weight we gain or lose, we still have the same number of fat cells. We look heavier when we gain weight because the fat cells expand. When we lose weight, our fat cells shrink. Because non-invasive fat removal kills some fat cells, the targeted cells are gone forever. If you are treated with a device, you may notice some changes as early as 3 weeks. Most people see the full effect between 3 and 6 months after the last treatment.
Some people see the full effects earlier. Liposuction delivers more-dramatic results. With non-invasive fat removal, the results are subtle. Your pants will feel a little loser or your belly a little flatter. Most people find that they can return to their everyday activities immediately after treatment.
After getting the injections to treat excess chin fat, some people will be extremely swollen for as long as 2 weeks. Still, they can return to their normal activities. While there is usually no downtime, most people need to schedule time for office visits. Non-invasive fat removal generally requires more than one treatment session, and each session tends to last between 30 and 90 minutes. Some sessions take longer.
After the first treatment, your dermatologist will re-evaluate you in a few weeks to a month. The following chart shows how many treatment sessions a person usually needs. After treatment, most people have some swelling, bruising, or discomfort.
