My plastic surgeon cannot get me in for the surgery until the end of February. We have a trip with the family planned for Disney World 9 weeks after my tummy tuck and breast reduction. Is that enough recovery time before a Disney Trip?

Answer: Tummy tuck and breast reduction recovery
In a word...Yes you will be able to go to Disney World.
I tell my patients they can get back to cardiovascular fitness at 2 weeks after tummy tuck and breast reduction, at 4 weeks they can lift weights, everything but sit-ups and abdominal crunches. At 6 weeks they can do full abdominal exercises. I hope this helps and enjoy your trip!
Sincerely,
James F. Boynton, M.D., F.A.C.S.

Answer: Tummy Tuck and Breast Reduction Recovery
If you have an uncomplicated recovery from tummy tuck and breast reduction you should be OK for travel and vigorous activity at 6 weeks after surgery. The 9 weeks you are allowing should give you enough time to recover and enjoy your trip.
