Yoga post-surgery

Many patients want to know when they can return to exercise following their liposuction procedure.  After a typical procedure, you must wait at least one week after drains have been removed.  Dr. Millard requires you to be at a specific point of recovery before resuming any strenuous activity.  One popular question we receive constantly is when is it ok to start doing yoga? Stretching your body with yoga is actually very beneficial to recovery.  However, due to the nature of the exercise, one would need to wait at least 2-3 weeks before getting back into their yoga routine.  After that, we recommend a regular routine of yoga and stretching to speed up recovery and promote overall health and balance after your procedure.
