Answer: Discharged same day Thank you for your question! Yes, it is very common for patients having a tummy tuck to be discharged home the same day of the procedure. The reason behind patients staying over night is based on the length of surgery, their age, and medical history.

Answer: Tummy Tuck Day of Surgery Thank you for your question. Your abdominoplasty may be performed in a hospital or at our surgical outpatient facility. A general anesthetic is administered, so that you will be asleep throughout the procedure. When surgery is completed, you will be taken into a recovery area where you will continue to be closely monitored. Small drain tubes will have been placed within the abdominal tissues to help avoid accumulation of fluids. Gauze or other dressings may be applied to your abdomen and covered with tape or an elastic bandage.

Answer: Do Tummy Tuck Patients Usually Go Home the Day of the Procedure? I perform surgery at an outpatient surgery center. Most patients are usually discharged home, preferably with a nurse for one day. It is the rare patient who, for a variety of reasons, may benefit from additional monitoring ( as an overnight stay or as an inpatient). Regardless, when you are discharged home it is important to have a good support system to help you during the healing process ( the more help the better). Generally speaking, “mommy makeover” procedures are associated with a very significant physical ( and often emotional) recovery period, often underestimated by patients. Best wishes.
