Is it necessary to buy a bed pad for after an extended tummy tuck?

Thank you for submitting your question. We always suggest using a clear shower curtain to put between your bed sheets and your mattress to protect your mattress as you can be oozy after your procedure. You can also use puppy pads to protect your furniture as well.

Dear jjspillers, thanks for sharing your concern, if you dont want to spend on this, tou can use some towels under your body, just in case an accident happens. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.

Dear jjspillers,
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.
