I was told that I would walk hunched over for approx a week or more. It's been a week since my surgery and I don't go back to the dr. for follow up for another week. I've heard that I'm suppose to "listen" to my body, what do I listen for?

Answer: How long after a full tummy tuck before I should stop walking hunched over? Congratulations on having undergone the tummy tuck procedure; best to run this question by your plastic surgeon as you will find that different surgeons will have different feelings about positioning/timing… For example, in my practice, I tend to ask patients to stay flexed at the waist for about weeks (longer than some other plastic surgeons do). Best wishes.

Answer: Walking Straight After Tummy Tuck Surgery The skin has been pulled tight to give you a flat tummy. It will ease and stretch usually in one to two weeks and then you will be able to stand and walk normally.
