Why No Bending over After TT?

I am not sure why your plastic surgeon has advised you not to bend over; it is probably related to concerns for your comfort. I actually asked my patients to stay bent to some degree ( often with the help of a walker).  This position ( as opposed to fully straight) helps to keep tension off the incision line.

I would suggest that you ask your plastic surgeon the rationale behind his  Instructions.

Best wishes.

Good question. I see no problem bending over, I donot want mypatients to bend over backwards this would place more tension on the suture line. I would suggest lowering yourself to pick up things from the floor, it's easier.

I would have to say your plastic surgeon wants you to be careful and to limit your activities at home.  Once patients start to feel good they have a tendency to do too much and there are certain movements that could cause pain or potentially hurt some the the work that was done at surgery.

A set back during the recovery phase is truly a set back and most of my patients have a definite time frame for having the surgery and getting back to work or tending to their house and family and a set back will certainly adversely affect that.

You will have to ask your plastic surgeon to be sure. Good luck, it sounds as though you are doing just fine.
