I'm on my 17 day post mommy makeover, Full TT, still hunched, can I do postural exercises? What kind? Or is it too soon?

Most patients would be advised not to exercise heavily for the first 6 weeks. Each surgeon has their own post operative protocol. If you have any questions about exercise your surgeon is your best resource.

Thanks for your question.  I would recommend discussing any postural exercises with your plastic surgeon.  In my practice I recommend that my patients do only light activities of daily living and self-care for at least 2-3 weeks after a tummy tuck, then gradually returning to full activities by 6 weeks.  Generally they are standing straight again within about a week.  Every patient is unique.

By this time you should be able to stand up a little straighter but it is not uncommon for patients to still feel this way for weeks after abdominoplasties. I would check with your surgeon but I usually have my patients stand next to a wall and "practice" standing up straight. It usually takes a week or two but most of them are standing upright by their next appointment.

Thank you for your question. At 17 days, you should be able to start standing straighter. Speak with your plastic surgeon to discuss any movements he/ she recommends for you at this stage of healing. Best, 

At 17 days there are parts of the operation and need to be protected. Any exercises must take this into consideration. I would check with your surgeon's office about what restrictions he has for a given activity.
