How long before beginning normal activities after tumescent liposuction?
Most patients can return to a work within two days after tumescent liposuction. Because of the significant decrease in swelling, inflammation and pain, patients are able to return to normal physical activities very soon after tumescent liposuction. There is no limitation to physical activity other than what common sense would dictate. Some patients are able to return to light aerobic exercise within a day or two after surgery. Some patients do find the soreness after surgery more significant than others, but on the average, most patients are quite surprised at how quickly they are able to return to normal activity.
