What is the recovery period after tummy tuck

Following the tummy tuck surgery, pain and discomfort will be observed. It is advisable to take rest from regular work for at least a week based on the amount of fat removed.

Heavy exercises should be avoided at least for 2 months followed by the surgery for better recovery. If your surgeon advises you a supportive abdominal binder, it can minimize swelling or bruising. Patients are also advised to avoid cigarettes in the recovery period. Complete recovery can be seen in 4 to 6 months time.
