Yes improper exercise too early after tummy tuck can ruin the results. However, proper exercise can enhance the results. I generally recommend that patients begin the ues of core strengthening abdominal exercises to begin approximately 4-6 weeks after abdominoplasty.
Can working out too soon after Tummy Tuck ruin results?
I started exercising at 10 weeks after Tummy Tuck, and I am extremely swollen. Should I stop exercising or will that not help at this point?

A: workout bulge
At 10 weeks post operative time my patients do resume their workout schedule. I include an abdominal muscle tightening procedure, followed by skin removal. It may depend on what was done in the surgery. Ask your surgeon, this is not the norm.
