Why does some patients experience "the blues" or feel sad and down after the Tummy Tuck procedure?

Asked By:Passion4hair in Charlotte, NC

I've noticed after reading lots of reviews, some (not all) patients that's healing seem to feel bad or blue after a few days into recovery, is this because of the sudden chance physically? Does it has a lot to do with mental state of mind?
