Answer: What is the best way to get out of bed after an abdominoplasty? Initially getting out of bed be easiest with help. Many patients decide to sleep in a recliner, so that they are in a flexed position. This takes tension off incision. If you have help, it's easiest to roll to your side and then have someone help you sit up and then lean forward to a standing position. After a tummy tuck surgery you will be most comfortable if you maintain the slightly flexed position while sleeping, sitting, and walking. Slowly with time you'll be able to be more upright.

Answer: Best way is with help or with a power recliner Please be sure and check with your doctor for clarification as to why you can't roll onto your side. It may be that they don't want you rolling on your side in your sleep and staying like that, but that being on your side momentarily when getting out of bed is ok.

Answer: Getting out of Bed Hello and thank you for the question. Please consult with your surgeon regarding getting in and out of bed. Before you have any surgery, my recommendation is to try to eat healthy, incorporate more protein in your diet to aid your healing. Try as much as possible to get to your ideal body weight or a healthy weight. And also please make sure that your surgeon is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and he or she has hospital privileges to do the same type of procedure(s) in the hospital that he or she plans to do on you, and finally an accredited surgery center is used. Thank you and best of luck!
