It is always best to discuss your options with your operating Surgeon. We often offer overnight stay for patients who live further away from a surgical facility. Usually, tummy tucks are outpatient- so as long as you follow all of your Surgeon's post op instructions- you should be ok.
For patients that have a ride of more than 20 minutes or so aftersurgery, we recommend to stay the night at a close-by location, with a nurse,or in a medical facility, so they do not have to go through the traffic and thebumps and so on.If that is not anoption, then something that can put the patient in as comfortable of a positionas possible that does not put tension on either incision.
Hi and thanks for the question. As long as you are under supervision of a competent adult and your surgeon releases you, the most comfortable mode of transportation home would be a larger vehicle like a personal van or SUV. Be well and best of luck with you results... Dr Hardy-

Thanks for your question. It sounds like you are happy overall but are wondering if further improvement in scar symmetry can be achieved. If you wait 6-12 months before considering a touch-up, you will have a better sense of the final result. If you are still dissatisfied it...
I have found that when a tummy tuck is performed with muscle imbrication (correction of separation), Exparel seems to make my patients more comfortable during the early post-operative period. Good Luck!
Thank you for your question. Typically during a tummy tuck your belly button is left attached to your stomach muscles and the skin around your tummy tuck is tightened. You may be having an optical illusion as a result of the new appearance of your stomach, but your overall torso...
Hello and thanks for your questions. Pulling up of the saggy pubic region is fairly normal with tummy tuck, but for some it can feel or look extreme. Discuss this with your plastic surgeon, but pulling on the external skin is unlikely to lead to tightness inside your vagina. I would suggest you...
From what I can see in the picture you provided, I believe a Tummy Tuck will be a great procedure to help with rejuvenation of your trunk. With a full Tummy Tuck I would expect to be able to remove excess skin, tighten and somewhat flatten and support the muscle wall of the abdomen, and shape in...
