Will I be able to return to work (office) 2 weeks after TT and some lipo? When can I return to physical activity, I’m a runner?
Answer: Returning to work after a tummy tuck If you have an office job, you will probably be ready to return to work after two weeks. That being said, there are many variables that could affect this, so you need to seek out the recommendation of your operating surgeon. In addition, you should wait until your drains are removed. The variables include how much if any muscle tightening was performed and how much tissue was removed. As for physical activity, I typically tell my tummy tuck patients that they can resume some light exercise such as brisk walking after two weeks. It usually at least 6 weeks before they can resume strenuous fitness such as running. Again, it is best to ask your surgeon.

Answer: Tummy tuck recovery Thank you for your question! For my patients having a tummy tuck procedure, I recommended that they take 10 to 14 days off of work, three weeks off of cardio at the gym, and six weeks off of weight training and yoga exercises. I hope this helps!

Answer: When to go back to work after tummy tuck? The tummy tuck is a major operation associated with major physical and emotional recovery time. As you can imagine, every patient's experience will differ after the procedure. Therefore, return to work times will differ from one patient to another. Ultimately, your plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to guiding you; he/she will see how you are doing and whether or not you have experienced any complications or set backs.

Answer: Returning to Work After a Tummy Tuck This is something you should discuss with your surgeon who knows you best, for my patients I tell them they will probably be able to return to work (desk jobs) in 10 to 14 days, and return to formal exercise in about 6 weeks. Good luck!
