Dear Peachesdaisy A lot of my liposuction business is word of mouth. Many of my patients are members at the same yoga studio. Typically, they are back doing yoga on the second or third day after liposuction. However, I practice pure tumescent liposuction under local anesthesia with very small cannulas. The method is associated with minimal tissue trauma, nearly no blood loss and very rapid recovery. I have no reservation telling my patients that they can return to their work out two days after liposuction. Not all forms of liposuction are so gentle. I strongly recommend that you follow your surgeons advice regarding when it is permissible for you to return to your workout routine.
