Recovering from a Tummy Tuck

The tummy tuck is now one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures available. Done alone or as part of a “mommy makeover,” a tummy tuck can help those who have excess fat due to pregnancy or weight loss. Tummy tuck recovery is an important aspect to consider before undergoing surgery.

What to Expect After a Tummy Tuck Surgery?

Surgeons perform tummy tuck surgery as outpatient procedures and patients can return home a few hours later. It is common though in some cases for surgeons to require an overnight stay, especially after an extensive tummy tuck. Patients should expect to be very sore and uncomfortable for at least the first week or so.

Patients should get up and walk around but spend the first few days resting at home. If necessary, drains could be temporarily placed at the incision site to help with fluid removal. These drains are usually removed a few days after surgery. Patients get a specific instructions for how to clean the area to avoid infection.

Depending on how physically demanding your job is, most people return to work within two to four weeks. However, if you have a physically strenuous job, expect to be away for up to a month. Tummy tuck results can last for years, assuming you don’t regain significant amounts of weight. Diet and exercise can also help you to maintain your results.
