Depending on the kind of surgery done- tummy tuck recoveries are not all the same. I use long acting pain injections as part of my tummy tucks. It has changed the level of post operative pain that my patients experience. A majority of my tummy tucks do go home the same day of surgery. If they have had large hernia repairs, I may have them stay overnight in the hospital. I am lucky enough to have a hospital with luxury suites as an option. My patients are able to have a 5 star hotel atmosphere with one on one nursing care. This allows for a peaceful and restful night of recovery.Good luck,RSH
If you are spending the night at the hospital you probably won't remember much, the nursing staff will be able to give you stronger medication than what you would have at home to keep you comfortable, you will probably sleep most of the time. Good luck!
Besides the tummy tuck... but that is water under the bridge now. You chose this procedure with your surgeon and knew the scar would be high and it is. But the shelf deformity between the different thicknesses of skin will have to be addressed down the road. Be patient now and focus on hea...
No two tummy tucks are alike, and in your case tightening the muscles along with liposuction will get you a nice proportion. There is artistry in how much fat and where to take it from, so see an experienced surgeon who is a board-certified plastic surgeon.
I am sorry to hear about the complication you have experienced. Assuming the open wound is kept clean and covered, you should be able to attend the funeral without difficulty. Your plastic surgeon will be able to help you if you have more specific concerns/questions. Best wishes.
