Post-Treatment Care After Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)

1. Rest and Recovery:

• Take time to rest and allow your body to heal. Arrange for assistance at home for the first few days, as you may feel sore and fatigued after surgery.

2. Avoid Straining Movements:

• For the first six weeks, be cautious when moving around. Avoid any positions or actions that strain your incision line, such as bending at the waist quickly, lifting heavy objects, or engaging in strenuous activities.

3. Compression Garment:

• Wear the recommended compression garment as instructed by your surgeon. This helps reduce swelling, supports your abdominal muscles, and promotes the healing process.

4. Monitor the Incision:

• Keep an eye on the incision site for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge. Keep the area clean and dry to promote healing. Follow any specific instructions on dressing changes or wound care.

5. Pain Management:

• You may experience some discomfort, swelling, or bruising after the procedure. Pain medication prescribed by your doctor will help manage discomfort, but avoid taking any over-the-counter medications without consulting your surgeon first.

6. Gradual Physical Activity:

• Limit physical activity, especially heavy lifting, bending, or strenuous exercises, for about 6 weeks. After the initial recovery period, your doctor will advise when you can safely return to regular activities and workouts.

7. Follow-up Appointments:

• Attend all post-surgery follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing. Your surgeon will check your incision and assess your progress during these visits.

8. Healthy Diet and Hydration:

• Maintain a balanced diet to support your body’s recovery process. Drink plenty of water and avoid foods that may cause bloating or discomfort.

9. Watch for Complications:

• Seek medical attention immediately if you experience any signs of complications such as excessive bleeding, high fever, or signs of infection at the incision site.

By following these guidelines and staying in touch with your surgeon, you can ensure a smooth and successful recovery process.
