Typically patients take two weeks off work to recover from a tummy tuck. It is important to allow your body time to heal after surgery. You will likely be on narcotic pain medication and unable to drive for the first week or two after your procedure. Your surgeon will be able to provide the best advice for you based on your individual surgical plan.
Thank you for sharing your question. Assuming you are not working from home and telecommuting I would recommend taking 2-3 weeks off of work to ensure an uncomplicated recovery after a tummy tuck. Hope this helps.
