How Long Does the Most Serious Pain Last After a Tummy Tuck?

April 30, 2011
Asked By:mjt0419 in Marathon, ON

I've read a lot about the recovery time after a tummy tuck but no one answers the question that I have. I'm scheduled for my surgery (full tummy tuck with lipo) on Jun 16th but I'm concerned my husband will only have a few days home with me to help me out before he has to go back to work. I have 2 young school aged boys who need my help with getting up and ready for school. After 4 days, will I be ok to do this on my own? Typically, how long does the most serious pain last after surgery?
