Is It Ok to Get on Roller Coasters Etc After Tummy Tuck?

Always follow your surgeon's instructions when you are recovering from procedures such as a tummy tuck.  Usually I have my patients resume exercise using slow and controlled motions starting approximately six weeks following surgery.  I prefer for my patients to wait several months before doing extreme or uncontrolled physical activities.  If you were my patient, I would prefer that you go for a long walk rather than ride the roller coaster at this point.

Dear Anastacia27 in Bridgeport, CT:

6 weeks is usually enough recovery time for a tummy tuck, but be certain to check with your surgeon to see if there are any special circumstances. Start slow and don't push it.

Thank you for the question.

Depending on the forces involved in the specific roller coaster you should be okay at this point in your recovery,  although  I would suggest starting with the more gentle rides and see how you do before progressing to more “aggressive” rides.

Out of courtesy please check with your plastic surgeon before your trip.

I hope this helps.

After 6 weeks I tell my patients that after 6 weeks there are no restrictions with any activity including roller coasters.

Yes. Unless your surgeon feels otherwise you may resume all activities after 6 weeks.
Full wound healing occurs after six months, who would wait that long to go on a ride?
