This : This depends on how your surgery is performed. If it is with liposuction only, i would say you could run with your garment after 2-4 weeks, if an open procedure is performed i would say 6 weeks before running. Dr. Edwards.

Typically : Typically you will be able to resume most routine activities within 1 week. Running may be uncomfortable and could lead to swelling or fluid accumulation early on, therefore you probably will need to wait about 3-6 weeks, especially for long distance running.
