I am 12 weeks post-op tummy tuck with a hernia and muscle repair today. I resumed exercise at about 4 weeks, gradually of course, and at this point I am feeling pretty good. I would like to start lifting heavier weight and trying sprint intervals again. My compression garment is starting to annoy me a bit and at this point I am curious about how healed the muscle repair is and if it is safe for me to start weening off of the compression garment. Thank you very much.
Sounds fine to me but I would ask your surgeon as she or he actually saw the defect and did the repair. All the best

I had a full tummy tuck one week ago. My waist was very small and my best asset. I had no fat to lipo so the only thing that was done was to pull the skin to rid some stretch marks and get rid of some bad sewing jobs from appendectomy, a laproscopic hysterectomy and a tubal. I weighed 114 the day of surgery and my waist was 26". Today I weigh 119 and my waist is 29".... is this normal? I read somewhere that the waist widens with the tummy tuck. Will this go away to my pre-surgery tiny waist
Thanks for your question.
You are only one week after surgery.
Typically, there is a some swelling after tummy tuck and liposuction.
You will most likely notice a great deal of change and reduction in the size of your waistline.
Please be patient and your skin will shrink and re drape.
Best Wishes.

Hello, I had my 2nd son 6 months ago and am thinking about doing some cosmetic enhancements. I'm 130 lbs and 5'4". I'm not at my target weight of 110 yet. I exercise vigorously 5-6 days a week. I'm thinking about doing some consultations, but it's hard for me right now as I would have to take my 2 year old and 6 month old along with me since I'm currently alone and my hubby wont be back until a month from now. I would love to hear some input! Thanks!
Congratulations on a great job. You have done much in getting your pre-pregnancy back.
Based on your pictures, you would get the best result with Tummy tuck. Eventhough you are only 6 months after pregnancy most likely your skin would not shrink enough with liposcution alone. T
Tummy tuck allows removal of excess skin, rmoval of stretch marks, and tightening of relaxed and separated muscle. The scar heals well typically and is well-hidden.
liposuction is only effective in reducing the thickness of fatty layer. Liposuction is best for individuals who do not have excess skin, do not have stretch marks, and those with good skin tone.
It would be best to examine you in person to give you most accurate and individualized opinion.
Best wishes,
Dr. Sajjadian
