I am almost 4 1/2 months post op from full tummy tuck and Lipo . I do cross fit 3 times a week. I still get very sore after abdominal work. Should I just not do sit ups?
Answer: Sit ups after tummy tuck? The best resource for your question is your own surgeon, he or she knows you the best. For my patients, I allow heavy lifting type of physical activity within 6 weeks after surgery and cross fit certainly falls within this strenuous activity/heavy lifting category. When resuming this type of exercise I always recommend performing the regimen alone and not in a group environment. This eliminates the competitive atmosphere and allows you to work back into your regimen more gradually which should reduce soreness. When you are close to being never your previous physical condition then group cross fit environments should be fine. Be patient and listen to your body.

Answer: Sit ups after tummy tuck Jill,Congrats on having the procedure. It is common to have abdominal pain for months after a tummy tuck following an abdominal work out. I allow my patients to slowly resume work outs 4 weeks after surgery. You should follow up with your plastic surgeon but realize it might take several more months until your discomfort resolves.Best of luck and happy work outs.Dr. T
