Hi Katie,
I had lipo done to my muffin top and inner thighs and after 6 weeks a started to workout, but i waited for the nurse to authorise it. Before my operation I bought a set of compression garments which consists of 2 peaces. One is made of thicker material and the second is perforated and more breathable. So I wear the lighter one for excercising. The set is great, because you can change 2 garments also depending on the weather or clothing. If you need to wear something more fitted, you can put on the lighter one. This is the set that i use: http://eshop.lipoelastic.co.uk/product/view/2/72
