Tips for Aiding Tummy Tuck and Breast Reduction Recovery?

In your particular situation judging from this limited picture, it may be wise to stage the procedures. It is not uncommon to perform combined procedures but as you can judge from the other physician's comments here, yours is a little more complex.
You would likely benefit from an extended tummy tuck rather than a traditional tummy tuck. In and of itself, this means it would take longer than usual.
Much of the same ":stuff " that made your back surgery easier will make your tummy surgery eaiser.
The basic necessities are important and relate to what we refer to activities of daily living. Here are a few items that are overlooked that you should attend to prior to surgery. This is by no means an exhaustive list. You should consider contacting your physican to discuss whether he/she approves.

Intake & nutrition: take plenty of oral fluids and electrolytes postop to remain hydrated. Protein supplements are also beneficial
Bowel & bladder: ensure that you are close to a bathroom to make it easy to transfer back and forth in the early recovery period. You may wnat to begin stool softeners early to limit constipation.
Pain and medications: Ensure easy access to your medications and have a schedule prepared to help others assist you in administration of meds. YOu may want to set these out ahead of time.
Use an incline bed early in the postop period to ease the strain on your abdomen
Ambulate frequently to decrease the potential for clotting. You may want to rent a walker for this purpose.
Arrange adequate transportation for yourself for doctor visits.
Hygiene: Prepare to have adequate hygiene supplies such as bath cleansing wipes (available at your local drugstore).
Consider the use of Arnica (oral pills or topical creams) to ease bruising and discomfort. This is somewhat controversial among practitioner.

Hope this helps!

Pain varies per person and medication to control #discomfort will be provided. Healing will continue for 2-3 months for the early period. This includes some swelling, bruising, malposition, color differences. Sensation in the breasts may also be abnormal and scars will be evolve. Tingling, burning or shooting pains in the breasts will disappear with time and should not alarm you. It is simply a result of the regeneration of your sensory nerves. If these sensations cause pain, repeated, local self-massage per your surgeon's permission may help.

Healing after a  #tummytuck will require time. Some patients are out of bed and walking the night of surgery and every hour while awake. I allow my patients to return to work at one to two weeks with 14 days preferred.  However, no lifting or straining.  At three weeks, increased level of activity and full with no restrictions, at 6 weeks. #MummyTummy is a term given to modified tummy tucks which can use liposuction and skin tightening with radiofrequency such Vanquish, Vela3, thermage, thermiRF and others.  The actual fat contouring can be done non-surgically as well with #UltraShape or Cool-Sculpting.As I advise my patients, if your work keeps you sedentary, you may return whenever you feel up to it. If your work is strenuous, wait until your work activity does not cause any superficial pain. Some employers will modify a person’s job duties so they can back sooner, but without physical activity. Our office can provide our patients with a note stating they are not to engage in strenuous activity for a specified period of time. The note will not disclose what procedure they have underwent. Therefore, you may have to request a similar note from your surgeon if you are not independently employed. I recommend avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous #activity for six weeks following your surgery. With that said, it may help you plan your return to work accordingly.

As for heavy lifting and other #strenuous #activities, it should be avoided for until you have clearance from your surgeon. You may, however, do normal activities at any time if they cause no pain or #discomfort. Let your body tell you what you can or cannot do. Aerobic exercise will raise your blood pressure, which could cause late bleeding and harm your result. Once you begin exercising again, start gently and let your body tell you what it can tolerate. Don’t rush!!  If you have concerns about your healing, or pain that you question to be unusual, it is important to call your plastic surgeon to discuss these further asked to be examined

When patients undergo combination abdominoplasty/breast
reduction surgery, they can anticipate limited physical activity for ten to
fourteen days following surgery.I
typically tell my patients bathroom and kitchen privileges initially, with slow
resumption of normal activity over the next two weeks.Patients can usually return to work in two
weeks if no strenuous activity or heavy lifting is involved.After six weeks they can resume all their normal
activates.Patients
typically wear a compressive support compressive supoo0rt bra and an abdominal
binder for three weeks following surgery.This minimizes swelling and increases comfort.Drains are placed at the time of surgery and
are usually removed within two weeks of surgery.Pain management is extremely important,
especially when the abdominal muscles are tightened.Most patients are initially given narcotic
pain relievers and switched to Tylenol five to seven days following
surgery.Patients
with small children should have assistance with child care for at least one
week and patients should not drive while taking narcotics.For
many patients abdominoplasty and breast reduction are life changing experiences.These procedures result in dramatic changes
in self-esteem, self-confidence and self-image.
