I am a very active person, and I love doing p90x and insanity workouts. When can I resume getting back to my normal workout activity, and will I have to build my strength up again?

Answer: Start at 8 Weeks It’s vitally important to give your body ample time to heal after surgery, especially before getting back to intense exercise. I generally clear my patients for light cardio week 1-2, but I do mean “light” walks around the block or slowly on the treadmill Plan to take at least 8 weeks away from p90x. At the 8-week mark, it may be safe to slowly resume that again. Start easy and start slowly, and be sure not to push yourself. If something hurts or is uncomfortable, pull back. Now is not the time for “no pain, no gain.” Giving yourself enough time to heal fully can greatly improve your recuperation and the longevity of your results.

Answer: Recovery after mommy makeover Thanks for the great question! Mommy makeovers typically include an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and some kind of breast procedure (e.g. augmentation, lift, reduction). The abdominoplasty is the rate limiting step of the recovery (breast surgery recovery is much faster than abdominoplasty recovery). I advise my patients to return to work 2 weeks following an abdominoplasty, and allow them to ramp up to full activity after about 5 weeks. p90x should probably wait 6 weeks, but you and your surgeon can decide together to see if you are ready sooner.
