I’m having a TT without muscle repair later this month. When would I be able to start twisting movements? Dancing for example.
Answer: When can I resume twisting movements after a tummy tuck? It is usually best to wait at least 6 weeks before performing core exercises of twisting/dancing intensity. Ask your PS for his advice as he/she will know how you are healing.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

Answer: When can I resume twisting movements after a tummy tuck? Thank you for your question. The best thing to do is follow up with you plastic surgeon and address all your concerns. All surgeons have different protocols post op. Most intense physical activity should be avoided for about 6 weeks. Best of luckDhaval M.

Answer: Activities after TT Dear ohenry54,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon. 6 weeks should be enough for the wound to fully heal so that you are able to continue with more strenuous activities.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Answer: When can I resume twisting movements after a tummy tuck? I would ask your doctor his/her preference, but I can say in my practice usually around 5-6 weeks patients can return to dancing. After 6 weeks patients are clear to perform heavy lifting and strenuous activities. This can change a little bit in patients when the muscles are not tightened.
