I'm very healthy mid-40's and very fit/active at 5' 4" and 118 lbs. I would like to have a mini tummy tuck without muscle repair this summer. How soon after will I be able to stand up straight and/or fly overseas?

Answer: How soon will I be able to fly after Mini Tuck? Recovery from a mini-tummy tuck varies from person-to-person. Your recovery from the procedure will depend on several factors, such as age, general state of health, and body weight. Your plastic surgeon will know how you are healing so his/her advice would be the best.

Answer: Postoperatiev protocol Dear bududaddy,I understand your concern. It is best that you consult your plastic surgeon regarding post operative care and management (i.e including massage techniques and timing) specific to your case. Your surgeon knows your condition well and has preferences on when and what to use for faster healing and recovery. Post operative care and management depends on the type of surgery performed and the technique used during surgery among other factors.It is best, however, that you follow your plastic surgeon's advice on post operative care management for a smooth and faster healing and recovery.
