I have a vacation booked to go snowboarding 6 1/2 weeks after surgery. TT is in two weeks. Will I be ok to do this in that timeframe? Should I postpone the surgery until after the trip?
Answer: Snowboarding 6 weeks after tummy tuck surgery? Congratulations on your decision to proceed with tummy tuck procedure. I find that many patients underestimate the actual recovery time associated with extensive operations such as tummy tuck surgery. The operation is associated with a very significant physical, and often "emotional", recovery period.

Answer: Tummy Tuck Thanks for the question. After 4-6 month your operation area is totally healed and yes you can do skateboarding and also do other sport activities. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Probably too soon It all depends on your recovery and the extent of your surgery. 6.5 weeks may be too soon after a tummy tuck to go snowboarding, since the sport is quite physically intensive. I would recommend you speak with your surgeon to find out what their opinion is.

Answer: Snowboarding Hello,Thank you for your question. I would agree that snowboarding might be a bit too intense to dive back into. At 6 weeks I allow my patients to begin resuming all of their previous activities, but I do recommend they take it slow and listen to their body for comfort. It will be difficult to predict exactly how you will feel. I recommend that you talk this over with your surgeon,All the best

Answer: Snowboarding Thank you for you question. Most surgeons will allow patients to return to normal activities at 6 weeks following surgery. I do not think snowboarding at 6 weeks following an abdominoplasty would be wise though. Strenuous activities that require a lot of core strength should be avoided until at least 3 months. Best of luck.

Answer: Snowboarding 6 weeks after Tummy Tuck? Thank you for your question. Everybody is different in their recovery time. Minimal exercise should be okay but I would not recommend snowboarding. I would talk to your plastic surgeon and see if he feels comfortable with it. I would recommend taking it easy and avoid any potential risks. Best of luck!Dhaval M.
