When can you see your Tummy Tuck results

C. Bob Basu, MD answers: How long before you get final results from a tummy tuck?

I had a full tummy tuck early October. I'm still having a hard time getting my pants buttoned. When should I expect to see the final result?

You should see your results immediately. If you are happy immediately after surgery, wait until you see your results 6-8 weeks after surgery once all the postoperative swelling resolves. Most plastic surgeons recommend an abdominal binder or compressive garment to help minimize the postoperative swelling.
