How long do I need to wait to go swimming in the ocean after a tummy tuck?

Thank you very much for your question. I normally tell my patients to wait four weeks
before swimming in a swimming pool or the ocean. However, this is dependent on them having a
completely healed wound, without any problems.
This is certainly a question which you should discuss with your surgeon,
and then closely follow his/her recommendations.

I would recommend you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon. I don't allow my patients go swimming until the wounds are totally  healed. Best wishes!

All of the previous answers to your questions are correct. There should be no harm in removing your binder at this point, either temporarily or permanently, and the likelihood of impacting your incision negatively with exposure to sea water at this point in time is minimal. Please confirm this with your plastic surgeon just to be sure, and be cautious about not over exerting yourself.
