What do you recommend to ease back pain?
Thank you for your question. Yes, back pain is common after tummy tuck surgery because you are "hunched over" protecting the incision line. Lying on your back for hours/days also contributes to the back discomfort. inflammation from liposuction may also play a part. I recommend the use of a walker to my patients - this helps decrease the strain on the back. Talk to your surgeon and see if he/she has other recommendations for you. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be pleased with.
It is my pleasure to answer your question. Back pain is normal if you had liposuction. You may ask your surgeon what to take for it. I usually prescribe pain killers each eight hours for one week after surgery.
