Thank you for your question! For my patient having a tummy tuck procedure, I recommend that they take three weeks off of cardio at the gym and six weeks off of weight training, yoga exercises, and core exercises.

Thank you for sharing your question and congratulations on your tummy tuck and hernia repair! After 10 weeks it is common to still feel a mild discomfort around your belly button as this is the area of greatest muscle tightening. It should, however, be improving slowly with time. Inform yo...
Thanks for your question. Without photos it is hard to comment, but yes it can be pretty sore after liposuction, and may remain so for several weeks after your procedure. Again is is quite normal for one side to be more swollen than the other. However you are hopefully wearing some compression...
It does look like you're an outstanding candidate for a tummy tuck and yes, the current recommendation is to wait until after childbirth to get a tummy tuck. This is because you may need to have the muscles re-tightened and/or skin and stretch marks removed. It's very hard to predict...
