How to Ease Into Exercise Following a Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck is a great way to help get rid of stubborn belly fat and excess skin. If the patient is an active person, then one burning question may be how to ease back into exercise after the procedure. Here are some tips for exercising after a tummy tuck.

Reasons to Exercise

It’s a wise idea to commit to exercise after a tummy tuck because it’s going to help keep the weight off over the long term. The patient’s metabolic rate may increase and the muscles may have improved tone with exercise. This helps to maintain a proportional figure and receive the full benefits of the tummy tuck procedure. The key is to take a gradual approach to exercise so the body can heal and get stronger.

Exercise Options

After the first few weeks of surgery, the patient should limit their workouts to walking. This helps with blood flow and aids in preventing blood clots. The patient should keep in mind that they need to do the amount of activity that feels comfortable for them. Four weeks post-surgery, they can start introducing light to moderate activity into their workout regimen. It’s recommended to avoid strenuous workouts and weight-lifting exercises for six to eight weeks.

Consult With the Doctor

Following a tummy tuck, the patient should consult with their doctor before resuming exercising. The doctor can offer tips for managing an exercise routine post-surgery. Sticking to the doctor’s physical activity guidelines can help create an easier and quicker recovery period.

How and when to begin exercising following a tummy tuck is a common question. Keep in mind that each person responds differently to a cosmetic surgery procedure. If you’re interested in a tummy tuck in South Jersey, board-certified plastic surgeon William Franckle, MD, FACS will support you through your healing process to help ensure you recover safely from the surgery and maintain the results.

Gynecomastia is the medical term for enlarged breasts in men. Approximately 15 million males in the United States experience gynecomastia at any given time. It can be found in either one breast or both, and it can sometimes cause a noticeable imbalance in the size of the breasts. Though it is often a painless condition, men who suffer from it may experience feelings of embarrassment or shyness.⁠

Body after Baby🤱🏼❗️⁠

Childbirth is a truly miraculous event, and you shouldn’t have to settle for a physique you find unsatisfying. With the Mommy Makeover, South Jersey and surrounding area moms can fight the physical effects of motherhood and shift their focus to the more magical elements of parenthood. ⁠

As with any invasive procedure, it is absolutely paramount that the patient be otherwise healthy before undergoing surgery. Dr. Franckle also advises that patients stop smoking prior to surgery to promote proper healing and recovery. It is also necessary to allow your body ample time to heal after childbirth before undergoing major surgery.⁠

❗️FALSE❗️⁠


Fact: A facelift can reposition tissue and address the neck area in ways fillers cannot. However, fillers are excellent for adding lost facial volume and giving a boost to your skin. They’re a great short-term, nonsurgical way to fight the signs of aging. If you’re unsure about committing to a facelift, give facial fillers a try.⁠

👇🏻What Is a Brow Lift❗️⁠
No two brow lift procedures will look the same. Each and every surgery is designed by Dr. Franckle to fit the patient’s particular needs. Commonly, a brow lift is used to eliminate the wrinkles that crease across the forehead, to help reduce the lines on the bridge of the nose, and to improve frown lines that form vertical creases between the eyebrows. For some, this procedure can also lift the eyebrows, raising sagging skin that is hooding the upper eyelids and revealing a lifted, more youthful appearance. The brow lift is a versatile surgery that can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to decrease the effects of aging over the entire face.⁠

❗️Fun Fact: If plastic surgeons only operated on the 1%, we wouldn't have a thriving plastic surgery industry.⁠

Most aesthetic patients are not the rich and famous, but are average people who simply wish to restore confidence, enhance their overall appearance and improve their lives.⁠
