Answer: Swimming After TT I recommend that my patients wait at least 6 weeks after surgery before submerging their incisions. Waiting several weeks greatly reduces the risk of infection or wound breakdown. At two weeks, your incisions are still early in the healing process. Every surgeon has a different protocol, so be sure to double check with your plastic surgeon's office.

Answer: Tummy Tuck Thanks for the question. After 4-6 week your operation area is totally healed and yes you can swim and also do other sport activities. I wish you all the best.
