I was an extremely fit person before my tummy tuck with muscle repair. I am on leave from the army. I had minimal loose skin, and the only reason I needed a full tuck was because of the seperated muscle. Because of my physical condition, how long can I expect recovery to take?

Answer: Recovery after tummy tuck
Recovery varies from one individual to another. In general, light non-impact activiities may resume as soon as 4 2-3 weeks after surgery but this will vary by physician. It may take up to 3-4 months prior to resuming normal unrestricted activities.

Answer: Recovery after tummy tuck
Hi there-
Recovery is affected by a patient's overall level of fitness, and so it is possible that yours will be a bit shorter and smoother than average, but in general, expect to be feeling fairly strong and ready after a few weeks, but to be restricted from full exertion for 6 weeks after surgery.
Congratulations on your new body!

Answer: 6 weeks for full recovery after TT muscle repair Although no 2 cases are the same, in general the healing time for muscle reair with abdominoplasty is the same as for a hernia repair which is 6 weeks for unrestricted physical activity. However, you should feel pretty good and be able to do most routine activities within 2 weeks.
