Desk job & tummy tuck recovery?

User Avatar
danielle1122
I am 15 days post tummy tuck surgery and feel well enough to return to work. I am an attorney, so I spend the majority of my day sitting and working from my desk. I've read sitting for prolonged periods of time post tummy tuck surgery can be problematic and cause excess fluid to collect in your pelvic area, seroma, etc. Is this a concern and/or is there a time-frame guideline and/or any helpful recommendations for this type of work/post surgery situation? Thank you!!
