Right now I am 8 weeks post mommy makeover. Everything is healing as expected. I had a wonderful board certified plastic surgeon who did an amazing job. In 2 more weeks I have a trip to Puerto Rico booked and want to go horseback riding and zip lining. I am just now able to use my stomach muscles minimally so I'm hoping it will strengthen a bit more in 3 weeks. It's a horse ride for an hour or 2 along the beach. Could I partake in these activities without damaging anything?
Answer: Mommy makeover So pleased everything has worked out for you. You should check with your PS but you should be fine. You may wish to consider wearing a support garment.

Answer: Tummy tuck drives the recovery You would be pushing your luck with those activities I think.After tummy tuck surgery, I advise the patients to take two weeks off from work. The patients may return to work, but may not engage in any strenuous activity. At two months, the patients start low impact cardio. At three months they can engage in more strenuous physical activity. If anything hurts or causes swelling, we ask them to back off somewhat. If you exercise or do some particular activity that results in pain or swelling you are doing too much for your personal recovery at that time. Not everyone heals the same. You need to make sure that you don’t cause more swelling. Fighting the swelling or working through the pain will certainly backfire. I prefer the patients to stay in town for two weeks if they from more than 2-3 hours away. I do not allow patients to fly before 2 to 3 weeks at the very minimum.

Answer: Post-Op Healing, Return to Full Activity Healing after the #breastaugmentation and #tummytuck will take time. I have my patients out of bed and walking the night of surgery and every hour while awake. I allow my patients to return to work at one to two weeks with 14 days preferred. No lifting or straining. At three weeks increased level of activity and full, no restrictions, at 6 weeks. As long as you are no longer feeling pain or discomfort you should be able to go horseback riding again. If you have any questions at all about your healing, you should not hesitate to see your surgeon in person.Swelling can persist for several months and will gradually improve and will look better at three months, six months, and even one year. Frequently the pubic area and the scrotal and penis area for men can become very swollen and discolored during the first two weeks due to gravity as this is the lowest area for swelling to accumulate.

Answer: Mommy Makeover - Post Op Exercise Thank you for your question and congratulations on your recent surgery. Most patients are cleared to exercise by six weeks following a mommy makeover. It is best to have an in-person follow up examination with your plastic surgeon for recommendations regarding what you should and should not be doing at this time. Good luck in your recovery.
