Best Answer

In general, Tummy Tuck recovery is around 2 weeks. You can hopefully be walking around 4-5 times a day in the first week after the procedure. The second week will be better and you are allowed (in most cases) to start doing light exercises after the second week. Depends a lot of times on how much work was done, age, pain tolerance and other factors like health in general.

It is one of the most popular procedures out there and has a 95% satisfaction rating, so it looks like however long you're down, it's worth it!

What is the different cost of a mini tummy tuck and a full tummy tuck?

A standard tummy-tuck requires an overnight stay under Medical supervision and is quite invasive with a recovery time of approximately 2 weeks. Whereas a mini-tummy-tuck is considered an outpatient procedure, which is less invasive. Patients who receive this procedure typically can return to work in one week, so half the down time. Due to these differences, the prices do vary. A mini-tummy-tuck averages $6,625 and a standard tummy-tuck costs approximately is $7,975, which is only a $1,350 difference.

How to I firm my post weight loss tummy?

First, tightening your abdominal muscles will help with the appearance of your tummy area. You can do this by strengthening your core muscles; "crunches" and "the bridge" are typical examples. Other than surgery, there is nothing that will actually "tighten" your skin, but give your skin some time to regain its shape from its natural elasticity.

How do you get rid of scar tissue after tummy tuck?

There's not that much that can be done about the scar after a tummy tuck. Usually, before a cosmetic surgery procedure, the surgeon will discuss where the scar will be located. There should also be talk about whether the abdominoplasty scar will be vertical or horizontal. The surgeon may also talk about an endoscopic tummy tuck which leaves smaller scars. Much of the choice depends on how much fat and excess skin is being removed. The choice also depends on whether this is a full or mini tummy tuck surgery. That said, after the surgery, if you are not happy with the scar, there are some options. One is to wait - many scars will get better over time. You could also talk about this with your cosmetic surgeon. Perhaps a laser resurfacing procedure could improve the appearance of the skin surface.
