Tummy Tuck Miami: How To Build Your Post-Op Exercise Routine
Tummy Tuck Surgery
1.Go slow- listen to your body
In the first weeks after surgery, you’ll be advised to refrain from bending over, from lifting anything substantial and from standing completely straight. Just moving from laying to sitting and then standing positions may take a surprising amount of effort. It can be discouraging for active, independent people to find themselves tired out by basic movements and shuffling around their home. Rest assured; this is normal, and this is temporary. Take lots of breaks and don’t try to do more than walk short distances, slowly and carefully.
2.Move your legs after a tummy tuck in Miami
- 1. Constipation- you don’t want it and walking helps stimulate peristalsis to prevent it.
- 2. Lowering the risk of blood clots. This is important, especially as client ages are older. Laying still for long periods after general anesthetic keeps leg circulation sluggish and puts you at risk. Using those muscles every hour or two- even briefly- is advised.
3.Aerobic exercise
Your plastic surgeon will clear you when the risks for bleeding have passed, and swelling is on its decline. You can start with light cardio such as brisk walking, but you’ll need to avoid actions that engage your core and abdominal muscles too much.
Cycling or a low-impact elliptical may be permitted after 3-4 weeks. Ask your surgeon what they advise for you.
4.Legs and arms
5. Abdomen
If you experience increased discomfort or anything concerning while you get more active, let your surgeon know so they can ensure you’re on the right track.
