I am 8 days post op from a breast reduction/tummy tuck. I have been wearing the garment all the time, except for showers, as instructed by my surgeon. But the garment has rubbed the skin off of my inner thighs.

Thanks for the question. Generally, most patients can fly within 2 to 4 weeks after Tummy Tuck surgery. However, car or airplane travel should be avoided to prevent the risk of blood clots in the legs. I wish you all the best.
Vomiting can raise pressure inside the abdomen and rip apart sutures.But there is no sureshot way of knowing that it has heppened.Please see your surgeon.
Generally speaking I prefer at least 6 weeks and preferably 3 months after minor surgical procedures before doing a tummy tuck. Please consult a board certified plastic surgeon who can more properly answer your specific situation.
