I would recommend that you hold off doing vigorous exercising, like running (I am a runner myself so I am sympathetic to your wanting to get back to running asap) for 7-10 days. I let my patients shower the next and do regular things like long slower walks, etc. very early on.
How soon can I start running after Smart Lipo?
I'm a regular runner who is interested in Smart Lipo on my abdomen and sides but am anxious about how long I'll be unable to run after the procedure.
