Answer: Post op rib pain It isn't uncommon for patients to complain of post op rib pain. Possibly due to how you were positioned on the table and/or you could be holding your body differently to compensate for your abdominal scar. Let your surgeon know about your pain, but it should resolve on its own with time. My best,

Answer: Tummy Tuck Post Op Pain Thank you for your question. Patients occasionally experience pot-op rib pain following tummy tuck surgery. It's most likely positional. I would follow up with your plastic surgeon for an in-person examination. Good luck with your recovery.

Answer: Soreness after tummy tuck It is not uncommon to feel soreness in your abdomen after a tummy tuck. Tightening (placating) the muscles will cause general tightness with movement and coughing but this does get better with time. How long ago was your surgery? Generally patients are able to resume full activites and exercise 6 weeks after surgery and the soreness will continue to improve. If it persists then you need to contact your surgeon.

Answer: Why are my ribs sore? So sorry to hear of your rib pain. Having done this operation for years, I do not hear of this post op problem. How long ago was your surgery? If no lipo was done ,I would call my surgeon and ask for a post op visit today. I'm sure it is nothing ,but these issues always need to be confronted immediately. Wishing you the best.
