How to sleep after lower body lift?

June 30, 2020
Asked By:Fabulous0908 in Orlando, FL

I’m having a lower body lift done later this month. I’m really worried because I have researched tummy tucks and what to expect after them, however I do want to be prepared way ahead of time and make sure I have everything needed. How will I sleep after the lower body lift? Walk? I know with a TT, they ask you walk hunched over because of the incision, however my incision will really the way around so if I hunch, I could rip my back incisions. Thank you!
