Can I exercise immediately after I have a tummy tuck?

Early ambulation is encouraged as soon as possible to minimize the risk of postoperative blood clots, however vigorous exercise is not indicated. Patients will have a certain amount of discomfort from muscle tightening after tummy tuck surgery that is usually performed and this will limit activity for the first few weeks. It will typically be four to six weeks before patients can resume a strenuous workout routine.
