How long will it be until I am able to stand up straight after tummy tuck?

Thank you for your inquiry, congratulations on your tummy tuck. Usually after 1-2 weeks after tummy tuck you are able to stand straight, each patient is differently your body on its own will straighten when you are ready. Some patients take longer up to 3 weeks to fully stand straight. Best of luck!

Everyone heals differently, but usually after about a week or so the patient will be able to stand up straight. The skin has been stretched and sewn snugly to give the flattest and smoothest result possible, it will gradually ease and stretch. Good luck.

Thanks for your question! This answer varies, but in my experience of doing over one thousand tummy tucks, you should be able to stand straight up (little by little every day!) by 5-7 day’s post op. Best of luck to you!
