Can laugh hurt muscle repair?

Thank you for your question.  Though laughing will definitely cause you some mild discomfort due to the pressure placed on your tummy tuck, it is unlikely that it will cause any damage. The sutures used will compensate.  Hope this helps. 

 Congratulations on having undergone the tummy tuck procedure. It sounds like you have an excellent support system around you; this is very important around the time of any type of "mommy makeover" surgery.It would be highly unlikely that even intense laughing would cause damage to the abdominal wall plication performed during tummy tuck surgery. For meaningful reassurance raise your concerns to your plastic surgeon.Best wishes.

Don't worry! Laughter is the best medicine. It is very, very unlikely that laughing will Hurt the results of your operation. If you continue to have pain or concerns, though, please consult your plastic surgeon.It is imperative that you seek the advice of a plastic
surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has
extensive experience in tummy tuck / abdominoplasty.



I wish you the best.
