I'm three weeks post. I am feeling stiffness on my stomach, back and sides.. Does yoga or light stretching help?
Answer: Does yoga help with stiffness after lipo? The short answer is that exercise early in the recovery period will increase the swelling. Every patient will be different, but I usually do not let liposuction patients perform vigorous activity for 4 to 6 weeks. Wear your compression garment as prescribed by your PS, and walk.

Answer: Does yoga help with stiffness after lipo? Thank you for your question. Healing after liposuction is usually pretty straight forward. There is a process of swelling and bruising that peaks at 3 days after surgery and then undergoes the first stage of major resolution in the first 2 weeks after surgery. The lateer phase of healing takes place over the 2-3 months after surgery where everything really settles and softens. It is after this time that we are getting close to the final result, though this varies patient to patient. Patients can return to light activities almost immediately after surgery, normal activities 2 weeks after surgery, and vigorous exercise 4 weeks after surgery.

Answer: Does yoga help with stiffness after lipo? Hello, thank you for your question. I address this on an as needed basis and take into consideration patient discomfort, the extent of swelling and weight gain status. If there is considerable discomfort, massage may not be tolerated. If there is a great deal of swelling, compression should be addressed in addition to the need for massage. If there is a considerable amount of weight gain, a small amount of a water pill can be helpful also.
