Minimum 6 months: Depending upon the size of incision and the suture material used, you must waite 6 to 9 months and how you feel.

Depends: It would probably be safe to resume normal activities after 4 to 6 weeks. The usual instruction is that when you feel tugging, pulling, pain, or pressure you are doing too much and you should ease up.
