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

May 12, 2011
Asked By:Chardonnay in NY

I went to the gym for the first time today post op and did 30 minutes on the cross trainer followed by upper body weights..and felt great after. I was a half marathon runner pre my thigh liposuction and am desperate to resume running asap but am scared that I might damage or permanently damage my thighs if I start high impact exercising... BUT I need to exercise.. Can you give me a realistic exercise programme that I can start tomorrow?
