Answer: Strenuous activity after tummy tuck
Ask your surgeon what his/her specific instructions are. I would suggest 6 weeks at the minimum and you still may not be 100% at that point. You wouldn't want to push yourself too soon and risk having a problem. Ease into it when you do go back.
Best of Luck.

Answer: I Am Having Major Tummy Tuck in 7 Weeks, How Long Before Can Go Back to Horse Riding Job?
Its usually about 6 weeks before you can go back to full activities. If your muscles are not plicated I would say 4 weeks. At 6 weeks your abdominal muscles strength is only about 40-50% of final strength, but this is enough for most rigorous activities. If you have any concerns continue to wear your abdominal binder during your first week back. Good Luck.
