How long should I stay in a recovery house after a tummy tuck, lipo and BBL?

In my Tummy Tuck patients, they must stay overnight at the clinic and at least 5 days at the recovery house. Based on my own experience as patient, I may say 7 days would be ideal. After that time you will still be on recovery mode for at least another full week and start doing almost normal life by 3rd week (21 day)Be encouraged. Dr. Cardenas

I think the answer to this question really depeds on what type of support you have at home from friends and family.  If you have somebody to help you at home, I do not think you would need any time at a recovery-type facility.  It would be helpful to have somebody to help with showering, drains, etc for the first week or so. If you do not have anybody at home to help, you should wait to return home until you are able to ambulate and shower safely on your own without worries of falling.
