How long does it take to walk straight after a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck procedure varies from
patient to patient.  Same goes for the
recovery. Most patients are able to
walk up-right within 2 weeks.  Some patients
may take longer.  At my clinic, we do
encourage the patients to try to walk upright after about 1 week. Speak to your surgeon regarding
post-operative recovery and what you can expect.

This is a good question.  In short, the tighter the abdominoplasty, the longer a patient may walk with a bend at the waist.  I believe most should walk straight within 2 weeks.  Most return to the office in a few days with a 10 degree bend at the waist.  However, this resolves with adequate pain control and skin relaxation.
