Tummy Tuck and Skiing?

You will find that your plastic surgeon will guide you in regards to postoperative activity, depending on how well you do after surgery. I would think that 2-3 months would be the minimum you should wait before strenuous/potentially traumatic activity such as skiing. Best wishes.

Skiing after tummy tuck

I allow my patients to return to ANY activity at 6 weeks. You will be fine for winter since we are more than 2 months away.

Skiing after tummy tuck

Given that it has been over 100 degrees for the last few weeks, this question brought a smile to my face. I'm sure you will be fine to ski by the time the lifts open in late November or December, but I would ask your surgeons for clearance as well. Good Luck.
