Answer: Squats after Mommy Makeover Thank you for your question.I normally recommend for my patients to wait six weeks to return to normal #exercise activity after their #mommymakeover. You want to give your body enough time in the #healing process before you start putting any strain on yourself. If you have more questions, contact your #boardcertified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Exercise After A Tummy Tuck Thank you for your question. It's great that you are feeling well after surgery and are ready to exercise. I recommend waiting 6 weeks for a strenuous workout including squats. Light cardio is fine after 3 weeks. As always you should discuss your restrictions with your surgeon. I recommend always using a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
