How many post op visits are typical after a Tummy Tuck procedure?

I'm sorry to hear that your trust in your surgeon has eroded.  I hope that you have a nice result despite this. The amount of postop visits can vary widely, from perhaps a visit the day after surgery, 1 and 2 weeks later depending on drain usage and removal, 6-8 weeks postop, then perhaps 3-6 months after that depending on your surgeon's preference and if you are having no problems.  However, if you have problems with fluid accumulation (seroma) that needs to be drained or wound healing issues, you may need to be seen weekly for several weeks.  There is really not a standard answer.  If you feel that you are not getting your needs met adequately, try to find a non-confrontational way to let you surgeon know.  I'm sure he/she would not want you to be unhappy.  Best of luck with your continued recovery!

Normally 2-3 across 12 months, but it depends on your surgeon. I am sorry to feel you have had an unsatisfactory experience. All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

I'm sorry to hear that.  Every plastic surgeon has his or her or protocol but they usually don't differ too much.  I see my patient on days 1, 4 and 7 then on week 2, week 4, then month 2, 3, d and at a year.  This is if everything has gone smoothly.  If there is a seroma or any wound issues then there will be more visits.

Typically 3-4 visits if everything goes well. There is usually a need to remove drains and follow up on the wound healing progress.

I am sorry that you
have to feel that way. Every surgeon is different with their follow up
routine. I like to see my patients within the first week then I see them for a
3, 6, and 12 month follow up unless there are times in between that the want or
need to be seen.
