How soon can I do light cardio after Tummy Tuck if I feel like I'm healing quickly? (photos)

Hi courtneydow, and congratulations on your
recent tummy tuck! I'm glad to hear you're feeling well. Your pictures look
great. By this point, you should be able to safely take short walks around your
neighborhood or a park. Vigorous exercise raises your blood pressure and pulse,
potentially exacerbating swelling and interfering with healing, so be sure to
keep any activity light and easy. You should still be avoiding heavy lifting
and any activities that require you to bend over. If you have any concerns
about which activities are safe after your surgery, don't hesitate to call your
surgeon. He or she is much more familiar with your individual case and can clear
you for certain activities.

Congratulations on your new look!Give your body time to heal!Though most surgeons encourage than patient to move around from the same day, it is better to stick to activities of daily life for a 3-4 weeks before you start pushing yourself. I typically Mobilise my patient on the same day, start walking & doing cardio by the end of- month.!

Congratulations on undergoing your tummy tuck! At 2 weeks, I tell my patients they should be able to engage in normal, routine activities like walking outside or light housework. I advise my patients not to engage in any heavy lifting or any cardio/core exercises for a good 6 weeks. Remember that the more active you are, the more you will swell. Make sure you continue wearing your compression garment. Also, best to check with your operating surgeon since every surgeon's post op protocol is slightly different with re: to activity level. Best wishes for a great result!
