Thank you for sharing your question.  As an anti-inflammatory medication ibuprofen can help reduce the swelling after a TT.  Talk to your surgeon if he recommends its use in the recovery period.

Yes, ibuprofen can reduce swelling. Speak with your surgeon about the pain medications that he or she recommends as knows your case intimately.

Ibuprofen is an NSAID which means that it does reduce inflammation and swelling.  Most doctors are ok with you taking this after your tummy tuck, but you should check with your doctor first.
