Can I lay on my stomach after a TT?

Congratulations on your surgery! Typically 6 weeks after surgery you can resume laying on your stomach.  It is always best though to check with your surgeon who is most familiar with how you have been progressing through recovery.

Hello and thank you for your question! After 6-8 weeks from a tummy tuck you should be able to slowly work up to all normal activities (except ab workouts which I let my patients resume at 3 months.) This includes laying on your stomach. It may not be easy at first and may feel really tight or you may not be able to lay for too long on your stomach but I let my patients slowly work up to that point starting at 6 weeks. This is definitely something you should ask YOUR surgeons opinion on however! Hope this helps and congrats on your recent surgery!Ankur Mehta MD
