Exercise Regimen After Your Tummy Tuck Procedure

Living an active and healthy life is my advise to all of my patients once they have recovered from their procedures.

Diet and exercise after Tummy tuck surgery

It is great that you are asking this question because maintenance after surgery is so important. I usually don't recommend a specific diet or exercise regimen for patients but encourage them to eat healthy and do the activities they like to keep fit (some patients love bike riding, others yoga, other like doing zumba!). As long as you are watching your diet and moving... you should be fine! Best Wishes!

Diet after tummy tuck

I like the Omega 3 diet regimen. It's basically common sense. High protein. Low carbs. Avoid processed foods and sugars. Exercises for your core will not only maintain but enhance your surgeical resilts. Go for it.
