I signed up to run one mile, but I just realized it would be around a week after my lipo on my abodomen and upper arms. Do you think it'll still be possible? Thanks! Sarah

Answer: Exercise after Lipo In my opinion the safe answer is to wait 2 weeks before you start to exercise. Walk each day but avoid vigorous activity during the first 2 weeks of healing. It's not the end of the world if you were to run the mile but expect an increase in swelling that may set back your final results.

Answer: Running after liposuction Beginning a progressive exercise routine after liposuction is important for recovery. Let your body be your guide. Starting with walking, treadmill at an incline, weight resistance exercises, yoga, or Pilates is great. Any activity that causes bouncing, such as running, should be added as your body feels ready for it. Be sure to wear adequate support with your surgical garment or other supportive athletic wear. Listen to your body!
