Exercise

Exercise Before Surgery
Exercise is always an important part of a healthy lifestyle, but never more than before surgery. As little as 30 minutes of activities such as walking, cycling, or swimming can help boost your immune system, make you physically stronger, and help promote a positive mental outlook. The doctors and staff of The Metropolitan Institute for Plastic Surgery will talk with you before your surgery about your pre-surgery exercise program.

Exercise After Surgery
The timetable for resuming your exercise program after surgery is different for each procedure. Our patients are encouraged to plan an exercise program and discuss it with the staff prior to resuming exercise. In some cases, such as with LipoSelection, it is important to walk every day beginning the day of your surgery to promote effective healing. Exercise recommendations and restrictions will be discussed with you during your initial consultation and in your first post-operative meeting with the doctor.
