My husband surprised us with a Disney vacation 7 1/2 weeks after my surgery. I'm a fit and healthy woman who is expected to have a normal recovery, however I'm worried about rides like Space Mountain jostling me around and hurting the surgical incision site. Am I over thinking this?

Answer: Disney after mommy makeover Thanks for your question. Should be a fun vacation, heading there for spring break. Best to check with your surgeon specifically. In my practice, I generally release my patients from all restrictions at 8 weeks, so you will likely be fine if you have healed well. Your incisions should be well healed by then, with a low likelihood of re-opening. Have fun.

Answer: How soon after a mommy makeover can I ride a roller coaster? Going on vacation should not be an issue but you may want refrain from some activities. It will be dependent on how your healing is progressing. As you see answers do vary among surgeons so I suggest you discuss this with your surgeon directly for specific instructions and guidelines.

Answer: How soon after a mommy makeover can I go on a rolller coaster? Disney rides are generally subtle in g forces and are smooth. Millions of people ride on these attractions yearly without incident. That being said, let discomfort be your guide. I tell my patients that three weeks after a breat augmntation they can do what they want, with graded return to exercise. Seven weeks after a tummy tuck, you should be able to ride space mountain, there is no heavy lifting our sit ups required with this ride.If you are concerned, you may want to wear an abdominal support or a spanks.Have fun on your trip!Yours, Jon M.
