Had lipo to trunk and thighs yesterday. Feeling pretty good today, even without pain medication. Really want to get on the elliptical at a slow pace. Is this ok as long as I take it easy? Prior to the surgery, I worked out 90 minutes a day/6days a week. In very good shape.

Answer: No exercise for a week or two after liposuction To prevent hematomas (collections of blood in the sucutaneous tissues) you should avoid exercising for the first few days after liposuction. If you exercise too soon, the lymphatic vessels might not be able to carry off the swelling and you might contribute to an unsatisfactory result.

Answer: Exercise after lipo depends on physical conditioning of the person and anesthesia used
Exercise after lipo depends on the physical conditioning of the person. People who are used to heavy exercise can resume their routines fairly rapidly. Generally exercise which does not make you "jiggle" is OK within a day or two if the liposuction is performed under local anesthesia.
General anesthesia lipo is much harder to recover from. For over 25 years of performing liposuction, I have always recommended walking a day or so after the procedure, and then gradually increasing the intensity of the work out.
