Liposuction can take a larger toll on the body than you would think. You may have to ease into (or back into) your workout regimen slowly. Liposuction is not a one time fix. You need to work to keep your body looking good. It is more of a… jumpstart. Every doctor is different, but I have heard of doctors telling you to wait 2 weeks, to just 2 days after the procedure to begin yoga and other forms of exercise.

Here is what a lot of people can expect after liposuction:

• Pain for 1 to 2 weeks
• Secretions from the wound
• Bruising and/or numbness

Keeping these in mind, and the fact that everyone heals in a different manner

, yoga is a great, low impact option to easing into a exercise program without excess strain. If you take a yoga class, make sure you tell the instructor about your surgery for professional recommendation on which yoga poses you can utilize, and when.

Downward dogs are great yoga practices if you suffer from “the muffin top.” The Tree pose is another low impact yoga pose that will also help your body relax. Do not push yourself too far, your body is still trying to heal and re-adjust.
