Lifting my Baby After Tummy Tuck and Plastic Surgery

Thank you for your question. It is hard to provided with a valid medical opinion without photos.  I would suggest to be treated by board certificated plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.
Kind Regards,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

It’s not unusual for abdominoplasty patients to have small
children at home.Unfortunately lifting
children following abdominoplasty surgery can adversely impact the results of
this procedure.Abdominoplasty
with muscle plication can be adversely impacted by heavy lifting.Under these circumstances, muscles can be
torn and bleeding can result.For
this reason we generally recommend minimal lifting in the first two weeks,
following surgery.We also don’t
recommend lifting more than twenty pounds for four to six weeks after
surgery.We also instruct patients to
allow their children to crawl onto their laps rather than lift them in an
upward direction.This approach
hopefully minimizes complications in the post-operative period.
