So I have next to no support in my decision to go forward with my tummy tuck procedure. I have nobody to pick me up, nothing.. am i crazy to want to cab it home and heal on my own? Since all of my family and friends are extremely judgmental, how long should I stay hidden before I can hide the fact that i went through with it? keep in mind i wont be needing any muscle repair. I don't have an extreme amount of extra skin so it will be stretched pretty tight adding some liposuction in there as well. thanks!

Answer: Recovery Tummy Tuck Healing after a tummy tuck is usually retty straight forward. There is a process of swelling and bruising that peaks at 3 days after surgery and then undergoes the first stage of major resolution in the first 2 weeks after surgery. The lateer phase of healing takes place over the 2-3 months after surgery where everything really settles and softens. It is after this time that we are getting close to the final result, though this varies patient to patient. Postoperatively, no specific position is indicated and we do not have any sitting restrictions. The pressure caused by sitting is not sufficient to affect viability of the fat cells and so the postsurgical position depends basically on comfort and any other operations that have been performed. Patients use girdles for 6 weeks and start therapeutic lymphatic drainage and ultrasound massages in the liposuctioned areas, which continue daily for a total of 10 sessions. Patients canreturn to light activities almost immediately after surgery, normal activities 2 weeks after surgery, and vigorous exercise 4 weeks after surgery. We usually experience a slow steady improvement for 3 months or so after surgery.
