Exercise after tummy tuck surgery: how long should I wait to resume my workouts?

Thank you for your question. I always recommend to my patients to start exercises tend six weeks after PO, gradually: first, gentle walks without sweating, then, you can go to the gym to do aerobics, and, after four months you can stats with machines exercise and start with light weights, and, if there are no problems, only six months after PO may charge "free weights".

It is super important to be up and walking every two hours following Tummy Tuck and one week after the drain is out (average 1 week), so starting about week two when I have patients beginning to walk for exercise and then gradually increasing activity to full impact activity at 6 weeks.  I do not recommend formal sit ups except in yoga etc and tell patients there is nothing that will improve the look of your tummy that you can do, more than what we do in surgery.All my BestBrad Bengtson, MD FACS

The muscle repair takes a good 6-8 weeks to have enough strength to do vigorous exercise.  Also, I tell my patients no heavy lifting greater than 10 lbs until 6 weeks because I want the muscle tightening sutures to hold.
