Marathon After VASER
I counsel my patients to give themselves 6 weeks before doing any high impact activities like running or jogging.

Athletic activity after liposuction
The short-term recovery post-liposuction is certainly going to curtail you training efforts, but I don't see why you should not try to run the half-marathon 4 weeks after surgery - why not try ? I don't think the activity will impact your cosmetic result. Post-marathon deep tissue massage might be helpful too. Have fun !

1/2 marathon after vaser
If the vaser is a month after surgery, you probalby will not be up for it. You will probaly be swollen and may not have the same energy that you would if you were completely healed.
