Answer: When will I be able to stand up straight? I had tummy tuck and breast lift July 3. Hello dear!! Thanks for the question and provided information as well. It is important for the healing process that you don´t stretch the wound for the first weeks, but after that, you can lay on your back for a few minutes a day. But, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon. Good luck :)

CONTACT NOW Answer: Standing Up Straight After a Mommy Makeover For the tummy tuck, your skin is stretched and sewn snugly to give the flattest result possible. As the skin eases you will be able to stand up straight and walk normally, usually in a week or so. Good luck.

Answer: Standing up You will be able to stand up! It just takes some time. Remember how tight you are now because it will loosen up and patients frequently ask years later if more skin could have been removed. Get well. Dr. G

Answer: Tummy tuck Thank you for your question. In general, I tell my patients that they can slowly begin standing up straight around day #10-14. Obviously you should listen to your body and not overly stretch your abdomen if it is painful. Follow up with your plastic surgeon if you have further concerns. Best of luck.

Answer: When will I be able to stand up straight? I had tummy tuck and breast lift July 3. You may find yourself hunched over for a few days post op; this can be attributed to a combination of repair and incision. The muscles have been irritated to a certain extent by plication and the surgery itself. I only tighten the abdominal wall to return it to an anatomic norm rather than tighten it as much as possible. This produces a functional result without producing prolonged discomfort. The abdominal wall may need several months to get accustomed to the changes. You should be walking normally by week 3 but perhaps at a slower pace. Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Los Angeles, CA
