Liposuction and bodybuilding standards

[Tesla]

did you have to get as lean as possible before the surgery?

also how long after surgery can you really hit the weights hard again?

It's different for people. I've heard some people say two weeks but it was more like a month for me. My lipo was the old fashion kind. There's a new kind out now where they do a much better job of "melting" the fat. It's called lipo select. It's supposed to be a very low pain type of thing.

After lipo you should be able to work out in 2-3 weeks and heavy 4-6 weeks. No point in leaning out too much, but they can only remove so many cc's of fat so don't go in to heavy either. Scars should be very minimal. I had gyno and tummy tuck done 6 months ago and all the gyno scars are gone and tummy tuck scars doing well with Mederma 3 times per day. Also the areas I had lipo done I massaged nightly and there are no lumps. Good luck!
