Hello Vickie Ruth, thank you for your question regarding the potential impact of vomiting after a tummy tuck. Vomiting can put a significant amount of pressure on your abdominal muscles and the surgical area. At 8 weeks post-op, your body is still in the healing phase, and intense or prolonged vomiting could potentially cause some strain on the area that underwent surgery. Feeling sore and experiencing a burning sensation could be due to the muscles being strained or the sutures being stressed. However, it is less likely that you have caused significant damage to the surgical repair itself, especially if you don't notice any visible changes such as a bulge, which might indicate a hernia or separation of the muscle repair. It is important to monitor your symptoms closely. If the soreness and burning sensation persist or worsen, or if you notice any unusual swelling, bulging, or significant changes in your surgical site, you should consult your plastic surgeon immediately. They may recommend a physical examination and possibly imaging studies to ensure everything is intact. In the meantime, try to rest and avoid activities that put additional strain on your abdominal area. Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon. I hope this helps answer your question regarding vomiting after a tummy tuck. Sincerely, J. Timothy Katzen, MD, FASMBS, FICS
