Curtis Wong, MD · Answer

vary depending on what was done but most patients can stand straight up 2-4 days after surgery, yet I know of some patients who have difficulties with that for weeks.  Bending is never an issue.  But always best to ASK your surgeon who did your procedure as we all have our own different protocols.

Gordon Lewis, MD · Answer

It usually takes 2-4 days to be able to stand up fully after a tummy tuck.  You me bend over at any time after a tummy tuck as this is primarily managed by the muscles in your back.
