I feel like I’m always pulling my upper ab muscles when i go to sit or stand. Will i ruin the TT? I’m 3 days post op of TT, MR and Lipi
Answer: Recovery It is normal to feel tightness at three days post op when standing or sitting. Be careful. You are healing and need to be cautious, however you should only need to be slightly hunched for a couple of weeks. Be sure to closely follow your surgeon's post op instructions. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Answer: I feel like I’m always pulling my upper ab muscles when I go to sit or stand. Will I ruin the TT? I’m 3 days post op. Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry to hear of your discomfort. It is very common to have a "pulling" sensation in your upper ab muscles in the first few weeks to months after a tummy tuck and it is unlikely that you will ruin your results. There are methods to get in and out of beds/chairs that can minimize strain on your muscles so be sure to contact your surgeon's office to discuss. Hope this helps.
