It would depend on the surgeon and the patient. This would be something that you would probably want to ask the surgeon. I would guess that they would prescribe a muscle relaxer and maybe something like Hydrocodone (generic for Vicodin and/or Lortab). I didn't have a tummy tuck but did have my stomach cut open from my breasts to my belly button and was hospitalized a total of 12 days. Due to my very high tolerance to pain medicines, I was given a much stronger narcotic with a muscle relaxer as well. I would think that this is something that the surgeon would be more likely to answer. I don't believe there is a "standard" type of medicine, as we are all made differently and have very different levels to tolerate pain. Hope this helps!
