Assuming the healing process is satisfactory, how soon can I go on a cruise after a tummy tuck? Is it possible for me to have my tummy tuck, and then 7 months later go on a cruise?
Answer: Tummy tuck post-op recovery time abdominoplasty expert flat tummy tummy tuck expert tuck tummy and cruise beach Thank you for your question regarding when you can go on a cruise after your tummy tuck. A tummy tuck usually takes approximately 3-4 hours to complete under general anesthesia. You should give yourself at least 2 weeks recovery. If you want to enjoy your cruise the more time you give yourself to recover the more you will enjoy your cruise. If I were to go on a cruise after a tummy tuck I would wait at least 2-3 months at minimum. Thank you for your question regarding when you can go on cruise after a tummy tuck.

Answer: Vacationing after a tummy tuck Thank you for your question. The answer to your question is yes. 7 months is long enough after a tummy tuck to vacation. Typically I tell patients its about 10-14 days of downtime around the house, up and moving, 4 weeks of no heavy lifting or working out. Swelling typically lasts about 6-8 months but that is swelling the patient is aware of not necessarily anybody else. Best of luck to you.

Answer: Cruise after a tummy tuck If healing is satisfactory you should be able to go on a cruise 6 weeks after a tummy tuck, and most other procedures. In 6 weeks the scars are strong enough so they do not break down. But for a year after a tummy tuck, or any surgery, you should hide your scars from the sun, and use sunblock.
