Exercise at 6 weeks post-op from tummy tuck and breast lift?

December 17, 2017
Asked By:whatthefrenchtoast in Illinois, IL

While I feel completely physically capable of it, I find myself afraid to move freely or exercise too vigorously. (ie zumba) I'm afraid I will ruin my internal stitches and my wonderfully flat stomach and lifted breasts and end up dumpish looking again. Is this irrational? Is it possible? I've had an ideal recovery with zero complications.
