My husband and kids just cleaned up our bikes and got them all ready to go for the summer. They have been riding and I want to go with them so bad! Today is day 21 post op of my mommy makeover. I'm still a bit tight and a little sore but not to the point of not being able to walk around fairly comfortably. Is it safe to go for a bike ride? Or should I wait another week?
Answer: Bike riding after surgery Congratulations on your recent surgery! It's wonderful that you are feeling so good after surgery, but it is probably best to wait 4-6 weeks after surgery before bike riding. Maybe consider a nice walk in the park as an alternative. Check with your surgeon regarding activities as he/she is most familiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery.

Answer: When can I go for a bike ride? Congratulations on your mommy makeover! I restrict physical activity for 3 weeks post op then gradually let my patients return to exercise with the exception of abdominal exercises. I would check with you surgeon on his/her protocols. It's always best to return to activity slowly, let pain be your guide and listen to your body. Good luck and enjoy summer!

Answer: Healing after a mommy makeover. Thank you for your question. After a mommy makeover, patients can return to light activities almost immediately after surgery, normal activities 2 weeks after surgery, and exercise 4 weeks after surgery. We usually experience a slow steady improvement for 3 months or so after surgery. Every surgeon will have his/her own preferences as to recovery for specific procedures. Best is to discuss specifically with your specific surgeon as he/she will have a better knowledge about your healing process.

Answer: Bike Riding After MM The best advice I can offer is to ask the surgeon who performed your MM for his/her opinion. A MM typically includes a TT, breast augmentation or breast lift, and liposuction. Recovery time from a MM may require 6 weeks or longer before vigorous exercise or strenuous activity can be resumed.
