Photos not supplied. Advice only. 44 years old female/Weight 60kg/height 172 cm/normal weight. Extremely active involved in surfing & SUP surfing (challenging core) and lift heavy weights. Have Been recommended 2 types of procedure: 1) Abdominoplasty - vertical plication only 2) Abdominoplasty - horizontal and vertical plication. Which is the preference? Will vertical plication only suffice for my heavy sport involvement? Or should I go for vertical and horizontal due to my extreme sports
I realize it varies for everyone but what is the average amount of time before I can pick my children? When would I be able to do yoga - lift weights etc? I'm fairly fit and found C section recovery pretty easy but I know a tummy tuck is more intense. I've had a few in person consults and the answer has varied from 6 weeks to an entire year before I could work out again.
I am interested in getting a tummy tuck and 360 lipo as well as a breast reduction. I know most doctors have a cut off BMI of 40 but is this a strict cut off? I carry most of my weight in my abdomen with so much loose skin after weight loss and having a c-section. But I also weight lift and the BMI number seems like it can be thrown off by factors such as that. I have a consultation in January so hoping to lose a little more weight prior to that. Current BMI is 42. Height 53. 240 lbs.
I am planning to do a Tummy Tuck and just curious the physicians thoughts on absorbable vs permanent sutures for rectus plication. I am an athlete and I lift heavy weight and I am wondering if there is any opinion on this here in RealSelf. Thank you.
I had a tummy tuck and breast implants 8 weeks ago. Before surgery I was deadlifting 300lbs, squatting 250lbs and bench pressing 145lbs. Im putting the amounts because when I ask when can I lift heavy again people think 50lbs is heavy. When can I start working my way towards these weights again? I just need to know Im not going to cause damage to anything since surgery.
I Will Be 6 Weeks Post Op (FTT, Lipo of the Flanks, BA, BL) Next Week What Excercise Are Recommended? I use to go to the gym 5-6 times a week & would run 3-5 miles. Can I do squats, lunges, lift weights if so how much. I would love to run again.
I had a full TT and muscle repair on June 23, 2010. My work requires that I be able to lift 70 lb.. I work in a Postal facility. I lift mail bags. I dump mail and sort. I move containers full of mail. I spoke with my surgeon about when I should return to work. He told me to handle small amounts of mail, or get help. I can't do either one. What do you think? I have an appointment this week with my surgeon. How do I get across to him the amount of work I'm required to do when I return?
I have strong core muscles, I do Pilates, I ride dressage and lift weights. I'm not aware of any problem in my abs. It seems that the muscle repair is the part of a TT that is hardest from which to recover. I would not want to have unnecessary repair if there is not truly a problem. How can I know? I've had gastric sleeve surgery and have lost 40 lbs so far, and plan to lose another 24, then I will want to get the loose skin and flab removed from my upper and lower abdomen. Please advise.
