Can I work out the day before surgery?

Question

I'm scheduled for a standard Abdominoplasty in early December & would like to lose 10lbs ( goal weight 126) over the next four + months, I'm working out 6 days a week (& have done for many years) & wondered if it was ok to work out the day before surgery? Or is it better to be rested? Thank you

Working out the day before tummy tuck surgery should not be a problem. Always best to run this question by your chosen plastic surgeon however.   Best wishes.

In my own practice I would have no difficulty with you working at the day before the operation. Your surgeon may have different ideas about it so you need to clear with him or her.

It’s
great that you are working towards a goal weight before surgery.  It is best to check with your surgeon for
their recommendation; however, working out the day before your surgery
shouldn’t be a problem. Best of luck in
December with your tummy tuck.

Its great that you are planning to get to your goal weight before surgery.  That will help you to get your best result. There really shouldn't be any concerns related to working out the day before an abdominoplasty, but it is always best to ask your doctor first to make your it's okay with them.Good Luck!
