How long do you have to wait to exercise after Tummy Tuck and Breast Augmentation? It's been 3 1/2 months.

Thanks for the question. After 6 weeks your surgery area is totally healed and yes you can do gym and also do other activities.

I appreciate your question.



I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon as every surgeon has their own respective post op protocol for his/her patients.  Your surgeon is your best resource as he/she is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing at this time.



The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.



Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.



Best of luck!

Generally speaking, I let my patients resume light aerobic activity at 3 weeks post-op. Then, at 6 weeks, I clear them to go back to doing whatever they would like (except for any heavy, strenuous core activity).  However, every plastic surgeon has a different protocol.  Please refer to your specific surgeon and his staff with this question. Good luck!

I encourage walking immediately after mommy makeover surgery. If abdominoplasty is involved activity must not involve targeting the abdominal muscles for six weeks. The breasts must remain at rest during any athletic activity such as running for six weeks.

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your recent surgery. Most patients are cleared to exercise by six weeks following a mommy makeover.   it is best to have an in-person follow up examination with your plastic surgeon for recommendations regarding what you should and should not be doing at this time. Good luck in your recovery.
