If you are having the muscles tightened as part of your TT then I would suggest a minimum of two full weeks off and work only half days for the next two weeks. Three weeks off would be even better. Patients recover at very different rates so these are only rough suggestions.
Hello,Thank you for your question. After 6 weeks, your incision should be well-healed and not in danger at all of opening, however swelling will still be present and skin may be sensitive. A few months will usually be recommended to allow the majority of swelling to resolve.All the best
The sutures used during your surgery are not longer contributing to your abdominal wall integrity. A host of other factors my account for your feelings. A visit with your doctor is recommended.
