Hi dear doctors, I am having a mini tummy tuck performed in Toronto and I’m from Montreal. I’m planning on staying there for a couple of days after the procedure but I would like to know how soon can I leave. Is 5 days post op enough? Note that I’m already in my ideal weight, very little extra skin and a minimal ab separation. My surgeon said for a patient like me surgery should take ~90 min. I expect my surgery to be relatively easy. Let me know what you think about a 5h car trip. Thank you!
