It's been 8 weeks since I had tummy tuck and breast augmentation. Can I go on water slides?

Question

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Congratulations on your procedures!  Typically patients are cleared to return to more strenuous activities after six weeks, which would include going on water slides at this point.  However it is always best to first get this cleared by your surgeon.  She/He is most familiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery.

Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. In my practice I dont recommend this kind of activitys until 3 months post op to have a better recovery and avoid unnecesary risks. Respectfully, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

hello,Thank you for your question. Typically, my patients can return to regular activity and workouts as well as swimming by 6 weeks so this is likely possible for you now, however I'd advise you to call your Plastic Surgeon for specific advise about your recovery and restrictions.All the best!

Mariam Awada, MD, FACS · Answer

You should be getting to a regular activity level however always consult with your PS as they know your body best and what was performed.

Jose M. Soler-Baillo, MD, MS · Answer

Thank you for your question.  I recommend seeking the advice of your operating surgeon regarding this matter.  I tell my patients to wait six weeks before performing any rigorous physical activity, but please address this with your surgeon who knows how well you are healing and what would be best for you.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
