Exercise after plastic surgery 2

Facial Surgery
Eyelid surgery usually allows the patient to get around independently by the second or third day. The patient can usually return to work in about a week, but exercise is not recommended for at least two weeks, in order to keep sweat from interfering with tear ducts or stitching. Also, swelling around the eye might make it a bad idea to try exercising if the line of vision is compromised.

With a facelift, a person can usually get around without help by the second day, but probably won't feel comfortable going out in public for at least a week. The patient can usually return to work by two weeks after surgery, but exercise is not recommended for two weeks, and even then, it should be kept light. A person can return to a regular exercise routine 4-6 weeks after the procedure, as long as he or she is recovering at a normal rate.

Rhinoplasty
People who decided to undergo the rhinoplasty surgery should be very careful during the recovery time. They can start exercising only in a few weeks. It is indescribable dangerous to start doing exercises beforehand. After the rhinoplasty surgery the blood-vessels are very sensitive in the nose area. If you start to do exercises beforehand the vessels will not stand and the nose will start to bleed, what can harm the final results. During the activities the access of oxygen is more active. It influences the healing process. The smallest bruise while exercising can damage the shape of the nose, if it will happen, the new operation will be needed! Keep this in mind! Let your nose to heal properly.

Tummy Tuck
It is a good idea to exercise after surgery, but only after enough healing time has passed. Your surgeon will give you specific instructions on when you can exercise after your tummy tuck and what type of exercises are appropriate. As a general guideline, tummy tuck patients can start light to moderate activity after four weeks. After six to eight weeks, most people can resume all exercise and activity.

Buttock Augmentation
Most patients can resume normal activities within two weeks after buttock implant placement, or within one week after fat grafting. After this time you can start gentle walking but must refrain from jogging or doing heavy physical activity or exercising until six weeks after surgery. You can do upper body exercising after two weeks. Most patients return to work within a week after fat grafting and after two weeks from buttock implant placement.
