Light Arm Exercises After Extended Tummy Tuck - is This Ok?

January 21, 2013
Asked By:GeorgiaMomma in Atlanta

I had a TT almost 4 weeks ago and am feeling good. I know that I cannot exercise for 6 weeks, but what about using small hand weights(5 lbs) for my arms and shoulders just while sitting? I am getting an arm lift with a BA/BL in 3 months and would like to build some muscle before that surgery. I also want to thank all of the wonderful doctors that take time to answer these questions. Plastic Surgeons are some of the most compassionate doctors out there!
