Answer: Exercise before Tummy Tuck. Any suggestions? Thank you for the question. There is absolutely nothing wrong with exercising to your hearts content before tummy tuck surgery. If anything it's helpful to be well conditioned and at a stable weight prior to embarking on a major operation.Generally speaking, patients who are in "good shape" from the physical, emotional, psychosocial... standpoints tend to best after tummy tuck (and other extensive) operations. When the time is right, seek consultation with board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience helping patients achieve the types of outcomes you would be pleased with. You may find the attached link, dedicated to tummy tuck surgery concerns, helpful to you as you learn more. Best wishes.

Answer: Exercise after a tummy tuck Exercise before tummy tuck is a good idea but won't specifically help too much for the surgery. Losing weight so you are at optimal weight would be beneficial since losing weight after surgery can result in loose skin. Best of luck, Dr. Michael OmidiAn in-person exam with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to assess your needs and provide true medical advice.
