Christopher L. Hess, MD answers: Best exercises after Tummy Tuck and Liposuction?

I had Tummy Tuck with Liposuction 6 weeks ago. What are the best exercises after these procedures?

At 6 weeks you can slowly start to return to an ab workout.  But stop if you get any pain.  You want to keep that abdomen and flanks looking great so you'll need to work or tone.  I personally do a huge ab workout but unless you've done a lot before it's tough to explain.  You need to work the rectus and the obliques.  A good program that does the whole body is the P90X.  You've probably seen the infomercial.  I have friends that swear by it.  It tones the entire body.  Give it a shot.
