I am preparing for a full Tummy Tuck with muscle repair and liposuction to the outer thighs. I have read that many patients rent a hospital bed. What is your opinion on the hospital bed?

Answer: No need for a hospital bed after Tummy Tuck surgery I would not advise you spending money on a hospital bed. I recommend that patients sleep in a reclining chair so that it relieves some stress on the stomach muscles. You should also be getting up and around several times a day even immediately after surgery to prevent the possibility of a blood clot forming. If you don't have a recliner, propping up several pillows behind your back and head and one under your knees so that they are slightly bent should work just fine until you are comfortable enough to sleep flat or on your side.

Answer: Recovery Thank you for the question.If you have a hospital bed, this would make your recovery much better and more comfortable. If you don't have a chance to get this, then my suggestion is to use plenty of comfortable pillows that can assist your sleeping as well as your positions in different ways during the recovery process.
