Beach trip 8 weeks po TT; will I be OK as far as swelling? (Photos)

Thanks for your inquiry and pictures.  You are getting a nice result.  I do not see any reason you could not enjoy your beach trip at eight weeks post-op in a bikini.  I recommend you disuss with your plastic surgeon your overall activity restrictions like how heavy your luggage can be or how aggressively you participate in sports.  Keep the scar protected from UV rays. Otherwise, have fun!

You are looking great 4 weeks out from your tummy tuck!You shouldn't have any issues at the beach two months after your tummy tuck.I always advise my patients to wear a lot of sunscreen to cover their scars (including belly button especially).Thanks for sharing!

You may still have some swelling at 8 weeks, everyone heals differently. Be sure that your incision is completely covered and protected from the sun for at least a year as your scar is healing. Good luck!

Thank you for your question. You are looking good and looks like a healing well. Should be fine for your trip. I recommend you to clear from your PS

Wow your results look great.  Based on the photos, you don't seem to have any issues and it looks like you are healing pretty well.  After 6 weeks you should be fine with going back to regular activities and lifting so a beach trip at 8 weeks is not out of the question.  Speak with your board certified plastic surgeon and get his approval just to be on the safe side of things.  Best of luck, Dr. Michael Omidi.

Protect your incision from the sun, and you should be fine for a 3 day beach trip.  Everyone heals different, so you may want to see your surgeon before you leave for the trip.  Have a great summer!
