I'm a 32-year-old LPN and I want to have a tummy tuck. How long will I have to be off work? Is it a good idea to have the tummy tuck now if I am getting married in July?
Answer: Painless/Drainless Abdominoplasty My patients are back to work in 1-2 weeks after abdominoplasty. I do a nerve block which significantly decreases post-op pain. I also use progressive tension sutures to avoid the use of drains. I follow my patients for one year and encourage them to come back for follow ups every few months. Attached is my peer reviewed ten year study and research paper on the progressive tension suture technique.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Tummy tuck recovery time Thank you for your question! For my patients having a tummy tuck procedure, I recommend that they take 10 days off of work, three weeks off of cardio at the gym, and six weeks off of weight training and yoga exercise. If you have a job that requires heavy lifting over 10 pounds, I recommend that you work on light duty until you are six weeks post surgery. As far as having an event post surgery, I recommend that you schedule your surgery date at least 12 weeks prior to the event, so that most of your swelling has gone down by that time. I recommend discussing specific post op instructions with your Board-certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Answer: Downtime for Tummy Tuck Following surgery, you will be walking in a bent-over position to keep tension off the newly tightened skin incision site. Although strenuous activity, and lifting more than ten pounds, must be avoided for 6 weeks, some people can return to work and daily activities as soon as 2 weeks after surgery. Softening of the surgical scars, return of sensation, and loosening of the tight sensation may take several months to a year or more.Abdominoplasty involves a recovery period of 10 to 14 days longer than most plastic surgical procedures. Initial discomfort and decreased mobility is typical. 3-5 days or more of assistance at home is usually indicated.You will be encouraged to move and walk regularly starting the day of surgery. Wearing your TED stockings at all times, except while washing, to prevent venous clots (deep vein thrombosis) is mandatory. Light activity is comfortable in 10-20 days. No sports or heavy lifting for 6 weeks or more – please discuss with your doctor for specific questions.
