Weight training following surgery
Dear patient, After tummy tuck and pectoral augmentation surgeries, generally returning to the gym is advised no earlier than 6 weeks after the surgery. Although I would recommend a progressive return to weight lifting.

Thank you for your email.
I would have you communicate with your surgeon and see what he/she recommends. Normally, patients can start slowly with lower body workouts (walking outside or on treadmill) after 2-3 weeks. The abdominal exercises and weight lifting will have to wait for at least 3 months if not more depending on how you heal.
Make sure you give your body time to heal so that you can get the best results possible.
Best Wishes!
