Answer: FATIGUE IS COMMON OCCURRENCE AFTER ABDOMINOPLASTY. Hello junta7101, Congratulations on your recent abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)! Fatigue is a common and normal symptom after a tummy tuck procedure. Patients may feel tired for several weeks or months. Taking supplements like iron if you feel fatigued, and vitamin C to boost your body’s ability to heal are highly beneficial during tummy tuck recovery. Many patients return to work and their regular daily lives after 1-2 weeks, but you may need someone to help you care for your house and children for the first month. Strenuous exercise and activities are restricted for 6-8 weeks. Avoid lifting (objects, children, pets) heavier than 5 lbs. for at least 6 weeks. Since every case is different, consult with your plastic surgeon to discuss your particular needs and concerns. Warm regards! Dr. De La Cruz.

Answer: Tired all the time Congratulations on your surgery! It's wonderful to hear that you are recovering so well, but healing takes a lot out of your body. It is typical that your energy level is lower at the beginning. It will slowly be restored as you continue to heal. Follow the advice of your surgeon, get adequate rest, and eat a balanced diet and you'll be feeling better soon.
