I feel i made a huge mistake in choosing my p.s and do not trust he cares about my health now that he got my money. Would like to know how many visits after tt are usually scheduled. Tk u
Answer: How many visits are typical? 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!

Answer: How many post op visits are typical after a Tummy Tuck procedure? The number of visits after tummy tuck surgery will likely vary from one practice to another. In our practice, barring complications, patients are seen about four times during the first post op month and 4 to 6 times during the remainder of the first post op year. I am hopeful, that with calm/constructive conversation, you are able to communicate your concerns and improve your patient/physician relationship. Best wishes.

Answer: A bunch 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.

Answer: How many post op visits are typical after a Tummy Tuck procedure? Typically 3-4 visits if everything goes well. There is usually a need to remove drains and follow up on the wound healing progress.
