How is the Recovery Process after Tummy Tuck?
In general, swelling occurs in the abdomen of the patient for the first three days after the tummy tuck operation. In addition, drugs recommended by the surgeon should be taken during this process for pain management. The patient, who may have difficulty standing upright during the early postoperative period, starts to walk within a short while. The time to remove the sutures, the frequency of dressings, the time for taking a bath and the duration of corset use vary depending on the surgeon’s instructions. It takes several weeks for the patient to return to his/her daily life.
Depending on the speed of the recovery, time to return to daily activities is determined. Healing process is accelerated with small exercise programs that do not strain the patient’s abdomen. Thus, the swelling decreases, and the abdominal muscles become to be functional. For an average of 4-5 months, the scars remain red. However, these scars, which will become obscure over time, are planned to remain under the underwear. Therefore, they do not cause any discomfort for the patient.
