I am almost at the 4 week mark. Lots of conflicting answers to this question online. Is it safe to start jogging, playing tennis, cycling at 4 weeks? When is it safe to start boxercise and bootcamp (exercises include boxing bag, press ups, sit ups, star jumps, skipping, tricep dips, planks, squats, lunges etc)? Thanks very much for the answers to my previous question - extremely helpful.

Answer: Can I Jog 4 Weeks After Tummy Tuck and Muscle Repair? It is commendable that you wish to return to exercise as soon as possible after surgery. Your plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to determining the return to specific activities after the specific procedures performed. He/she will know exactly how you are progressing and whether or not you have experienced any complications. Remember, that he/she is ultimately responsible for your care.Having said that, I ask my tummy tuck patients to start walking ASAP after surgery but refrain from any heavy-lifting or strenuous exercise for 6-8 weeks to prevent complications and ensure proper healing. It may be 4-6 months before you reach your full energy and strength levels. Best to “go slow” and listen to your body as you gradually increase or activity level. Best wishes.

Answer: Ask your surgeon for the best advice You can start doing cardio at 3-4 weeks after surgery, but wait 6 weeks before you do anything more strenuous, like lifting weights and sit-ups. Although you are 4 weeks post-op and can start exercising again, you should begin very slowly and build up to your former intensity. Doing too much too soon can compromise your recovery and can even cause complications. Having said this, however, it is important you follow your surgeon's post-op instructions as they may have different guidelines.

Answer: Exercise after a tummy tuck I would strongly advise you against exercise 4 weeks after a tummy tuck. If you had muscle tightening performed, you are risking that you may tear the repair. You've spent a lot of money, don't endanger it by being impatient.
