It's probably okay to get a pedicure and manicure today if it's comfortable for you to sit upright. Enjoy!
After having your tummy tuck it is certainly reasonable to have a manicure/pedicure. Continue to pamper yourself!! Dr. ES
Yes, I think it is fine to have a pedicure a week after tummy tuck. It will help you to relax and brighten up your day. Have fun.
Go right ahead. It is hard to imagine any reason why you shouldn't proceed with your pedicure and manicure. Enjoy.
I am asked this question frequently and my advice is to get that pedi right before surgery so you won't have to deal with getting into and out of the pedicure chair or having to raise your legs up a week later.

Thanks for your question! There is no harm in getting a tummy tuck and then getting pregnant. People change their minds and accidents happen too! The same changes that caused your abdomen to look "horrific" after your first pregnancy will probably occur again with the second...
After tummy tuck, your drain (if you had one) has only been out for a week or less, and tissue layers have only been healed/adhered to one another for a week, so activity must be conservative to avoid reaccumulation of fluid that could lead to a seroma, needle aspirations, drain...
