Mommy makeover recovery. Will I be okay to go abroad and go on a waterslide 7 weeks after surgery?

If you are planning to go on vacation after your tummy tuck, I recommend to wait 6 to 8 weeks before you do anything that will jeopardize your recovery. Your body needs the proper amount of time after a tummy tuck in order to heal. Activities on vacation will affect your health in negative ways. My personal opinion is to wait at least 8 weeks

While recovery times can vary from person to person, a Mommy Makeover typically involves multiple procedures like breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and liposuction, which can have different recovery timelines. Generally, after 7 weeks, many individuals start feeling more comfortable and have healed sufficiently.

However, it's crucial to consult with your surgeon before making plans. Waterslides might involve physical activity, water pressure, and potential impacts on the body that could be risky during the initial recovery phase. Additionally, flying after surgery, especially if it's an extended flight, might pose some risks due to the possibility of blood clots.

We can give you the best advice tailored to your specific case. We'll evaluate your healing progress, the extent of your procedures, and whether it's safe for you to engage in activities like going on a waterslide. Your health and safety should always be the top priority during recovery.

I don't suggest a waterslide 7 weeks after surgery. I recommend waiting at least three months before you allow such forces to be applied to your body. You'll want to have the best recovery and result possible so it is worth the wait. Likewise, trips abroad are a chance to have a lot of fun, and so I don't advise travelling until you can maximize your holiday. Keep the two separate by about three months.

I would consult with your Surgeon who did the procedure.
In general. this would be a sudden increase in physical activity/movements and your body just may not be ready for it.
If you have areas of delayed healing, they won't be ready for this. Also, it could precipitate a late seroma or other complication.
I would arrange a consult with your surgeon. I wish you well with your onward journey.

Hi & thanks for your question.
That may be a little ambitious for 7 weeks post op. Reach out to your surgeon for his/her guidelines and restrictions. Best wishes!
