How long do i have to wait after my tummy tuck before i can go travelling?

After significant weight loss im having a tummy tuck. My friends have decided to go travelling around south america, two months after my surgery and i'd love to go! Does anyone know would it be safe to go that soon after surgery?

    Hello,

    I would say at least 4-6 weeks afterward as long as there are no problems after the surgery. It does depend upon exactly how your surgery is done (especially how tight the muscular repair is if you have one,) so I would check with your surgeon before you book your trip.

    Good luck

    I would think so, but if you are concerned I would talk to your surgeon - they will have the correct answer instead of all these numpties on Y!A.

    Btw, congratulations on the weight loss!

    i've got heard the comparable thoughts the place the wealthy get the tummy tuck after having a c-section, get all of it performed at as quickly as. i don't be attentive to if it rather is genuine or not. verify with a plastic wellbeing practitioner.
