When can I go back to weight training after liposuction?

I don't limit my patients from weight training much at all.  Typically, I tell patients that as soon as they feel up to it, and as long as they are wearing their compression garment, they can go to the gym.  Weight lifting doesn't ever seem to be a problem, but running or jogging sure does.  The simple act of running can feel like a "pounding" on areas that have had liposuction and is very uncomfortable.Of course, you should check with your doctor before taking this advice, but I think it is safe.Good Luck!

You really need to ask your surgeon about this as this will differ surgeon to surgeon.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

 In my practice I permit patients to resume athletic activity as soon as they feel comfortable. However, your specific instructions should come from your own surgeon.
