When can I straighten myself, or bend down after my tummy tuck?

After the 3th week you may bend down, after the 6th week exercise, and practically normal life, IF your doctor agree with it.Have a great journeyDr. Cardenas

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.

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.
