What Would Work Best After a Full Tummy Tuck? A Recliner or a Contour Body Wedge?

Question

A medical lift assist recliner or a Contour Body Wedge?

Sacha Obaid, MD · Answer

I usually recommend that my patients sleep in a recliner after a tummy tuck if they have one. If they do not, I think it is an expensive and unnecessary purchase as you can achieve similar results with a few pillows you already have behind your back and underneath your knees.  Good luck.

A recliner can be used after tummy tuck.   Pillows under the legs for sleep after tummy tuck also help.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Leo Lapuerta, MD · Answer

If you already have a recliner at home, then you can use that. It isn't necessary to spend a lot of extra money on these items as pillows work just fine.

David Shafer, MD, FACS · Answer

Either the recliner or the wedge would work well.  There is no need to buy any of that though.  Just a few pillows behind your back and under your legs would work just as well.

I love my patients in a recliner for the first 24-48 hours.  Its comfortable and aids in dependent drainage of the drains.
