Hello, I am interested in getting a tummy tuck but unsure if I’m ready for that recovery time. From what I understand, the work done on the abdominal muscles is what makes the recovery so long. Would it be possible to exercise the abdominal muscles to strengthen them and bring them together for a skin only tummy tuck?

Answer: Shorten Recovery for Tummy Tuck? Everyone heals differently, but you should count on 6 weeks for your recovery. You need to have an exam to determine if you will need muscle repair. If your abdominal muscles have separated, no amount of exercise will fix that. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Answer: Recovery time Dear themommynthepea,Recovery time is approximately 2 weeks. Vigorous activities should be limited for at least six weeks. During your postoperative care, your surgeon should provide specific instructions for your individual recovery. Following these instructions can help reduce post-surgery complications as well as speed up recovery time.Daniel Barrett, MD
