How long after tummy tuck do I need to walk bent over?

Thank you for your question.Typically our patients walk bent over for a week or two. As you heal you will be able to stand straighter. Give your body the time to heal and recover. Any questions or concerns be sure to contact your surgeon. Best of luck!

It usually takes about 1-2 weeks after that you can then start to slowly walk upright as the days go by, congratulations on your procedure!

Thanks for your question. Typically, patients need about a week or two until they are standing up straight.  However, that depends upon the individual.  Generally, after about five days I recommend  that patients stand up as straight as feels comfortable. Each day they can stand up a little more straight as the tissues relax.  Best of luck.
