Thanks for your inquiry, being able to stand straight up right after a tummy tuck varies from patient to patient. In general a surgeon will encourage a hunched over position for at least several days to prevent wound separation, bleeding, etc. Good Luck.
Standing straight after a tummy tuck varies by patient. In general it's about a week before most patients can fully stand straight. Sometimes this semi "hunched" position will create some low back soreness. Warm compresses and having a partner rub a tennis ball on the area may soothe this until you can walk straight again.
