How long after a TT surgery can I go on a ski trip? Trying to plan ahead

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!

Thank you for your question. After a tummy tuck procedure patients can return to light activities almost immediately after surgery, normal activities 2 weeks after surgery, and vigorous exercise 4 weeks after surgery.  We usually experience a slow steady improvement for 3 months or so after surgery. Best is to follow your surgeon´s post op instructions. 

It's best to ask your surgeon since he/she will know to what extent your tummy tuck was. However, typically you'll want to wait around 2 months before such activity. Best wishes,Dr. BlaggAustin, TX
