I asked doctors about this before, and they said it mainly depends on the individual's recovery. Generally, gentle exercise helps with recovery faster, but if you sweat a lot, it's better to wait a little longer. I myself waited over a week before trying walking, and then another three weeks before starting some light activities. But to be on the safe side, it's best to consult a doctor about your specific situation!

Oh, I was thinking about getting additional cosmetic surgery too! Glad to see someone asked about it 😊 I hope those who have gone through it will share their experiences and how many weeks it took to get back to exercising.

I'm in the same boat and a little worried about it, but most of the people I talked to said that something as light as walking is perfectly fine after a week or two. But for things that involve sweating and pressure, like the gym and Pilates, it's better to wait at least a full month so the eye can recover properly. 🥺

I had this surgery before, and the doctor advised me to avoid strenuous exercise that would make me sweat a lot for the first two weeks. I started doing some gentle exercise about three weeks later, but I was still a little worried, so I consulted the doctor before I dared to start the recovery.

I'm also considering the same procedure, so your question is very helpful! I think the most important thing is to follow up with your doctor to find out the appropriate timeline, as everyone's recovery process is different.

Hey! So what timeframe did your doctor tell you to wait before getting back to heavy workouts? Because I heard it varies from person to person 😊

I'm also really curious about this because I want to get back to the gym ASAP hehe, but apparently I really do need to be patient first so my eyes heal properly. Maybe we should ask the doctor who performed the procedure directly, since everyone's recovery is different!

I'm actually considering this procedure too, and your question is really helpful! It sounds like everyone says you need to wait a while before exercising, especially activities that make you sweat a lot, but exactly how long seems to vary from person to person. I think it's safest to ask your doctor about that.

I had the same procedure done, so I totally understand how you feel! My doctor told me to "avoid sweaty exercise for the first week, and light walking should be fine after two weeks." That said, it seems recovery pace varies from person to person, so I think the best approach is to take your time and progress based on how your eyes are feeling rather than rushing it.
