When can I swim post TT and Lipo? 2 weeks post op.

Thanks for the question.It's great that you feels good so quickly after your tummy tuck.I think most of us plastic surgeons on this forum will have you talk to your plastic surgeon about this issue. If all incisions have healed without any openings, most plastic surgeons would probably advise you to wait until six weeks before swimming. This time frame allows the incision to be air tight and very strong.Make a quick phone call to your surgeon's office and get their instructions.Good Luck!

Hello,Typically you will wait 6 weeks before swimming after a tummy tuck bur your surgeon will be the best person to answer than question based on how you're healing. All the best!Dr. BlaggAustin, TX

You will be able to go swimming after your incisions have fully healed. The amount of time it takes for incisions to fully heal can vary from patient to patient, so I would recommend visiting your plastic surgeon a few days before your vacation for an evaluation. If she says you can swim, then go right ahead. However, if your incisions have not fully healed yet and your plastic surgeon advises against swimming, you should follow her advice. Swimming before your incisions have healed can lead to infection.
