Answer: Standing upright post tummy tuck Thank you for your question! Most of my patients are able to stand up straight 10-14 days post tummy tuck, but for some it may take a little longer. I recommend discussing specific post op concerns with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

Answer: Walking straight Thank you for your question. I would say that after two weeks you should be able to walk straight. Always under the direction of the operating surgeon you should each day extend yourself more and more. This is because we pull you so tight for that optimal result.

Answer: Straighten up I strongly agree with Dr Welsh that you should upright within a few days of surgery at the latest. At this point, you are compensating with your lower back muscles, which can lead to chronic back issues if left untreated. If you truly cannot straighten up, get back in to your PS ASAP. You may have to consider physical therapy at this point. Best of luck.

Answer: Tummy tuck post op Good morning Jawaher jassim and thank you for your question. Every patients recovery is slightly different. Each day after your surgery you should be getting a little more upright. Typically somewhere between the 1 week to 2 weeks you should be standing completely upright. You should contact your board certified plastic surgeon to see what their thought is and their protocol.
