How long do your tummy muscles hurt after tummy tuck?

Question

I had a tummy tuck 6 weeks ago and my upper tummy muscles are still very sore.

Jake Lim, MBBS, FRACS · Answer

It is not unusual to still have some soreness 6 weeks after. You are still in the healing phase. This also depends on how active you have been. Take things easy and gradually you will get better.All the best.

Jeremy Pyle, MD · Answer

Six weeks is a long time and certainly not feeling your best at that point is frustrating. Know, however, that it is not out of the ordinary. In some cases, there is a lot of work and strain put on the muscles in the operation to give you the long term result you will love. The tradeoff can be more soreness afterwards.  The good news is that your results will far outlast your pain.Best,Dr. Pyle
