Brief Answer:
it depends upon the size of incision

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing to HCM.

It all depends upon the size of incision.

If its 2-3 cm small, then she can do whatever she wants now.

If its a bigger incision then a period of 2-3 months is advised to avoid lifting heavy weight. And she needs to keep her hand firmly over the scar while coughing or sneezing to support it during this time.

Hope i have been helpful.

Regards
