During the rest of the week you may assume some light activities like waking, but exercising or lifting must be avoided. Usually it needs up to 10 days for beard to be sufficiently healed to support a return to normal activities such as exercising or any kind of sport. But weight lifting and any other serious exercising regimen must be postponed for another week. After about a month patients can return to their preoperative regimen without any exception.
