How Soon After a Tummy Tuck Can I Wear High Heels?

You would be able to wear high heals within 10-14 days after a tummy tuck as long as you feel steady and comfortable walking in them. You can also start light exercising within two to three weeks but no heavy lifting or sit ups for 2 months.

Wearing high heels can put more stress on your body.  You should wait at least 2 weeks but it depends on how extensive your surgery was.  Always check with your surgeon first.

Patients should be comfortable with their core strength and coordination before wearing heels.  This is different for every patient, from two to six weeks.

In most cases, people are back to their regular activities 2 weeks after surgery.  While you will not be 100%, but should be able to go out, wear heels, etc.

 

Good Luck.

After a tummy tuck, it's generally recommended to avoid wearing high heels until you're fully recovered. This is because high heels can affect your posture and the way you walk, which might strain your abdomen and potentially hinder your healing process.
Most plastic surgeons recommend waiting at least 4 to 6 weeks before wearing high heels, but you should always follow your specific surgeon's recommendations. They can give you the best guidance based on your individual recovery and how you're feeling.

You should have much of your strength and balance back before considering wearing high heals as well as not experiencing light headedness when getting up and walking around. Not taking narcotic pain medication would be prudent as well. You probably should wait closer to at least 2 weeks.

Generally you will have discomfort and pain for upto 6 weeks after such a surgery. I generally recommend that you should in your fully physically strong and normal statecbefore doing something that can stress you too much. Wearing high heals may require you to be very careful so you don't accidentally slip, twist or lose balance. So be very careful. You maybe able to wear heels in 2 to 3 weeks if your recovery is very smooth.

You will not be able to comfortably wear high heels at least until two weeks after your surgery.  It all depends on the extent of your tummy tuck. pain , and posture which will be related to the :


amount of skin resection

amount of liposuction and

extent of muscle plication

It all depends on how you feel post tummy tuck.  Try first wearing around the house and if you don't feel any tension  or discomfort on your abdominal muscles,  you will be fine.
