Frequently Asked Tummy Tuck Questions
Q: What is the recovery time of a tummy tuck?
You will be encouraged to be moving and walking around within one to two days after your procedure. Light activity is permitted within 10-20 days. Sports will not be permitted for six weeks.
Q: How much weight can a patient lose from this procedure?
A tummy tuck procedure is not a weight loss procedure. There is no significant weight change associated with this surgery. Patients will notice a shape change, along with improvement in the way clothes fit around the mid-section.
Q: How bad are the scars?
With any skin tightening surgery, there will be a fairly long scar. With this procedure, the scar is easily hidden on the lower section of the abdomen, right above the pubic area.
