When can I get in a pool after my tummy tuck? (Photo)

I like my patients to wait 6 weeks before swimming, to just get wet in a wading pool I want them to wait until the incision is completely healed. Good luck.

Thank you for your question. The first few weeks are the most crucial as far as formal physical exercise, such  as lifting, pushing or pulling. 6 weeks at a minimum would be advisable to wait. I recommend also waiting about 6 weeks after surgery to submerge yourself into a pool or beach.  Always defer to your surgeon when it comes to timing as well as they will be able to advise you best.  Andrew T.

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. For most patients who have an uncomplicated recovery they can submerge their incisions 4 weeks after surgery. Hope this helps.

I usually tell my patients to wait at least 6 weeks before going swimming, as long as your incisions are completely closed you may do so.Best wishes!

First of all, congratulations on your tummy tuck, crossfit43204!
In general, you can already swim or wade in a pool four weeks after your tummy tuck as long as your incisions have closed and fully healed.
If you no longer have contact with your reputable and board-certified plastic surgeon, maybe you can post more photos here of your incision so that RealSelf plastic surgeons can evaluate you. Based on the lone photo you posted, I think it’s okay, although more photos would be better.
Best of luck!
