What tummy tuck supplies should I have for aftercare?

This is an excellent question. Being prepared for your surgery will make your recovery that much easier. Make sure to get your prescriptions filled in advance, and keep notes on when you take your medications, it is easy to forget or sleep through a scheduled dosage. Ask your surgeons office for a second garment so you can always have a fresh one. Prepare and freeze some of your favorite foods in advance. Be sure you have someone staying with you the first few days you are home to assist you with meals, going to the bathroom and keeping track of your medications. Plan your wardrobe with things that open in the front and are easy to get on and off. Also have shoes that you can slip on so you don't have to bend over and tie them. Extra pillows are good, you may find it more comfortable to sleep with one under your knees. Best wishes for a fast recovery.

You may want to have an extra garment as one may become soiled with blood or fluid from the surgery. You will also need to empty the drains and may need a container to measure the amounts. Be sure to have your prescriptions filled out before hand also.

Your plastic surgeon will be able to give you more specifics regarding your recovery.

In my practice, we will provide most of your post-operative garments and dressings.  I would wait and see if you need any additional supplies post-operatively.
