I had the full tummy tuck w/ muscle repair and lipo on upper hips. My pain has been tolerable since day 1 post op and it's day 3 and I am hardly on any pain meds. My drain seems to be leaking less? Am I on the road to recovery or does this seem like it's too early? On a side note, I've been laughing lately and have been trying hard not to (how do I know if i ripped anything inside? like the muscle repair? If that makes any sense?

Answer: Post op tummy tuck abdominoplasty walking three days straight Thank you for your question regarding being able to walk straight three days after your tummy tuck surgery. You may be able to walk straight three days after your tummy tuck. However, I do not suggest it. Walking straight this early can put undue tension on both the abdominal muscle repair and the tummy tuck incision. Increased tension in the abdomen can cause wounds to break open. There is no need for you to be walking straight at this point. You should start walking upright at approximately 7 to 10 days after your tummy tuck. Even if you do not have pain at this point, 3 days is too early to strain your incision. I hope that I have answered your questions regarding walking straight three days after your tummy tuck. If you have any more questions regarding post-operative recovery after a tummy tuck, please contact my office. I hope you recover quickly.
