Do what your surgeon directs for post-op care

John Philip Di Saia, MD answers: Tummy tuck recovery care?

What should I be doing as part of post-Tummy Tuck care (like showering, compression garment use, washing the binder, changing wound dressing, etc.)?

Hello,

We all treat these things differently:

(1) Some of us see you alot after surgery.

(2) Some of us do larger cases.

(3) Some of us use pain pumps.

(4) We all vary technically.

The bottom line is that you need your surgeon's preferred "game plan" after this operation to guide you through the post-operative period.
