You need to discuss with your surgeon. When suctioning the abdomen I will ask my patients to avoid running for 4-6 weeks to avoid seroma formation.

Exercise following Liposuction.
Thanks very much for your question. I usually tell my patients to wait 3 weeks prior to going back into the gym. At that point it might be good to start with non-impact exercise (i.e. stationary bike or stair climber). Talk to your surgeon and get their thoughts as well.

When Can I Go Back to Running, Push Ups and Sit Ups After Liposuction of my Upper Arm and Abdomen?

Exercising after lipo
Most patients will have some bruising and swelling which can last upto two weeks after liposuction. I usually have my patients wait 2-3 weeks after surgery before they start exercising, and all of my patients must wear a post-operative compression garment (medical spanx) for 4-6 weeks. I would definitely recommend that you discuss this issue with your surgeon before surgery. Every surgeon has his or her own pre- and post-operative routine based on what he or she feels gives...

Return to exercise after liposuction
Usually around three weeks is a good time to ease back into exercise. Ask your surgeon based on his/her experince with persons of your build and extent of procedure.
If you are getting a lot of swelling when you do start exercising, its a signal from your body that you are overdoing or its too soon.
