Recovery

Several factors are involved in a patient’s abdominoplasty recovery, including the patient’s overall state of health and physical fitness at the time of surgery, which type of abdominoplasty surgery was performed, and the patient’s cooperation with the surgeon’s post-operative guidelines. Many patients are anxious to view their final tummy tuck results, and it is not uncommon to be frustrated by the abdominoplasty recovery process. Keep in mind that abdominoplasty surgery involves the removal of a significant amount of skin, the tightening of muscles, and, if liposuction is combined with the abdominoplasty surgery, the extraction of fat. Your body needs time to recover and adjust to these changes.

Healing from tummy tuck surgery is an individual matter, but in general you should plan to miss a week or two of work as part of your abdominoplasty recovery period. Some patients will require up to four weeks of tummy tuck recovery time. Although it takes most patients several weeks or more to feel completely "back to normal" and to see their final tummy tuck benefits, patients who were in good physical condition at the time of the surgery will have a shorter tummy tuck recovery time.

Benefits

Abdominoplasty benefits are more plentiful than many people realize. Excess skin removal and the tightening of abdominal muscles will give your stomach a flatter and firmer appearance in addition to decreasing the width of your waistline. Often, the appearance of stretch marks, particularly beneath the line of the navel, can be dramatically improved if not eliminated. Other tummy tuck benefits may include an increase in self-confidence and an improvement in the way your clothes fit.

Tummy tuck surgery offers many aesthetic benefits. If your stomach has been stretched beyond the limits of natural repair by either pregnancy or weight loss, abdominoplasty may be the solution. The benefits to your appearance include a flatter, firmer belly, a smoother stomach contour, and a narrower waist. Abdominoplasty also benefits many patients with abdominal stretch marks. In many cases, stretch marks below the navel are removed along with the excess skin at the close of the procedure, while the appearance of the remaining stretch marks is often improved when the skin of the abdomen is pulled taut.
