Abdominoplasty, the official term for a tummy tuck, is a successful procedure for removing extra skin and fat from the abdomen and improving the appearance of the entire abdomen, making it appear flatter and more toned. It’s crucial to understand what to anticipate following a stomach tuck before having the treatment.
You will need to spend time at the clinic following stomach tuck surgery so that your medical team can keep an eye on you and make sure you are healing properly. You will be given pain medication to make you more comfortable because you will feel pretty sore and tight across your stomach. At first, your stomach will be enlarged, but over the coming weeks, the swelling will go down. Your stomach will be fitted with a compression garment that you must wear for at least six weeks in order to lessen bruising and swelling, promote healing, and maintain the proper form of your stomach tissue.
You must avoid specific motions and activities after a tummy tuck since the incision is made from one hip to the other, increasing the chance that your stitches won’t hold. You won’t be able to stand completely straight for the first few days after surgery since doing so will strain your stitches, so you’ll need to maintain a modest hip bend. To prevent breaking your stitches, it is advised to avoid lying flat with your legs straight out in front during the first few weeks. Instead, it is advised to sleep on a recliner chair or arrange pillows under your knees to keep them bent.
