Recovery After Tummy Tuck Revision
Recovery following a tummy tuck revision is similar to that of a primary tummy tuck, although the experience may vary depending on the extent of your revision. Note that recovery varies from patient to patient. Often, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and temporary discomfort in the days after surgery, which can be managed with medication prescribed by your surgeon. Light activity can usually be resumed after one to two weeks, while a full return to regular activities typically occurs around four to six weeks post-surgery. To support a smooth recovery, patients are advised to wear compression garments, follow all post-operative care instructions closely, and attend scheduled follow-up visits. At Forma Plastic Surgery, you’ll receive personalized aftercare and guidance at every stage of healing, helping to ensure your comfort and maximize your surgical results.
