Abdominoplasty Recovery – Miami Tummy Tuck

Posted December 13, 2013 in Plastic Surgery

When a patient considers a tummy tuck, they must think about their goals, preferences, preparation tasks, the plastic surgeon they want to perform the operation, and more. One of the key things to consider is what you should do to make the abdominoplasty recovery process as simple and short as possible.

Typically, the internal abdominoplasty recovery process can take up to two weeks. For the first week, avoid standing upright, as this can affect tissue healing. Once it no longer feels painful or uncomfortable, you will once again be able to stand fully upright.
