Tummy tuck in Mexico continues to be one of the most performed procedures in aesthetic plastic surgery. This is a requested procedure for several reasons: for seniors who want to maintain a youthful belly, post-pregnancy mothers to restore their pre-pregnancy appearance, and bariatric patients after massive weight loss with residual excess skin.
The ultimate goals of this procedure are to remove excess skin and fat and tighten the abdominal muscle with the least visible incision. Regular exercise improves physical and emotional well-being and allows for a healthy lifestyle. However, implementing or directly returning to an exercise routine after a tummy tuck can do more harm than good.
It’s normal to want to feel better and achieve better body sculpting, but there’s always a suitable time for everything, including exercise.
For the next two weeks, try to walk briskly for about ten minutes. Rest as much as possible during the recovery phase. This brief exercise will get your blood flowing and help prevent blood clots from forming.
Indeed most of the swelling will disappear within two weeks of surgery. At this point, you can start walking twice a day for fifteen to twenty minutes. Do not attempt other exercises, as your body is still in the early stages of recovery.
You can gradually increase the length of your walks four weeks after your tummy tuck in Mexico. It is essential to listen to your body’s signals and exercise consecutively. You can also start doing lower body exercises. However, this will not be the time to do activities involving the abdominal muscles, so you should wait a minimum of eight to twelve weeks after surgery.
Cardiovascular and lower body exercises are the best tummy tuck exercises after the six-week operation. You can also start lifting light weights, but don’t be too hard on yourself. If you feel like taking a break after ten minutes of exercise, do so. If you feel excessive pain in your stomach, stop exercising immediately to prevent any risk.
Once you are completely healed from the tummy tuck in Mexico and get approval from your surgeon, you can start exercising. Remember that it is crucial to wait for the right moment when exercising after a tummy tuck procedure.
Exercising body parts like the abdomen, internal oblique, external oblique, and transversus abdominis will give your stomach a toned and firmer appearance. Initially, you can do three to four different types of basic exercises that target these muscles. Some examples of work-outs are:
Abdominal exercises are one of many ways to strengthen and tone your abdominal muscles. You can also do lateral balance crunch, sliding pike, knee bend, oblique reach, Pilates, and yoga.
