If I Resume Running After 2 Weeks Post Thigh Liposuction Will I Damage Myself?

Hello Chardonnay,

Everyone surgeon does their surgery differently and has different post surgical recommendation for level of activity.  The best thing to do is ask your surgeon who will be able to give you a better answer after examining you.  But as a general rule I say after 4 weeks you can start running.

The questions that you ask are quite proper and important for your particular situation. However, you should ask your operative surgeon these questions as he/she was the one who performed your surgery and there are variabilities of recommendations for post op activities among physicians. No one answer is necessarily right or wrong. The answer would also be influenced by your particular procedure (volume removed) and your general medical condition (which apparently is excellent).

For most of my patients, I would recommend waiting around two and a half to three weeks before resuming extremely vigorous activities such as long distance running.
