I know you shouldn't do ab exercises for several months after a TT. Pilates is all core and ab workouts, how long do I need to wait? Is there another exercise regimen I can do in the meanwhile?
Answer: Post Op Activity Restrictions Hello,Thank you for your question. Your operating surgeon will be the best one to advise you about post op activity restrictions. I recommend 3 weeks with no cardio activity post op and another 3 weeks of avoiding heavy lifting and abdominal workouts. Your Plastic Surgeon may have their own preferred protocol and clear you based on your unique situation.All the best

Answer: Tummy Tuck Generally I recommend casual walking after 2-3 week, walking for exercise at about 3-4 weeks[treadmill ok, elliptical not ok], and more strenuous exercise after 6 weeks.

Answer: Core exercises I'm glad you are so active and looking forward to getting back to pilates. My first advice would be to ask your surgeon what her or his advice is as I'm sure your surgeon has an opinion on this. In my practice, I ask my abdominoplasty patients to avoid any exercise for a month, and then ease into things again. It is likely that when you start up again, you are not going to be able to do the things you used to without some initial discomfort. Remember that even without your surgery, you have taken a break from working out for some time and you would expect to need to ease into things anyway. Start slow, listen to your body, and gradually start your exercise regimen again when your surgeon directs. Before long you should be back at your pre-surgery activity levels but looking better than ever.Best wishes, Dr. L

Answer: Wait Period to Return to Full Activity Most patients will be placed in an abdominal binder, which they will wear the first week. There is usually a fair amount of swelling and the binder should be opened several times a day so that there are no pressure points. After the first 7 to 10 days the patient is placed in an elastic garment for compression over the next six weeks. You can return to full activity without restrictions at 6 weeks.

Answer: How long after a TT should I wait before doing Pilates? Thank you for your question. It is very important to follow the specific advice of your plastic surgeon and not rely on Internet advice. In my practice I encouraged patients to wait at least 6 weeks before aggressive Pilates or abdominal workouts or core workouts.
