How Often Should You Be Up Walking Around 4 Days Post Op Tummy Tuck and Breast Augmentation?

    Promoting circulation after mommy makeover is helpful for preventing the development of blood clots in your legs.  Ambulating around your home every 2 hours or so is helpful in this regard.  I do not recommend walking miles in the early postoperative period particularly if liposuction is performed - risk for fluid collection and increased swelling is increased.

Pulmonary complications are much less in ambulatory patients.  I encourage may patients to resume normal daily activity as soon as they can.
