Muscle Healing After Tummy Tuck

User Avatar

I had a full tummy tuck with muscle repair on January 19th 2011. I have the quilted suturing done so there was no need for drains. How healed are the muslces after 7 weeks? And what are my physical limitations as this point? I go back to see my PS on the 10th, next Thursday, so was just curious.
