The recovery time for tummy tuck surgery can vary from patient to patient. To complete the recovery process as effectively as possible, patients who undergo tummy tuck surgery must follow a specific program. Below, we answer the question of how many months it takes for a tummy tuck to heal with the rules we will mention.
The average recovery time for tummy tuck surgery is 7-8 weeks. The final stage of the surgery can take up to one year. The 7-8 week process includes wound healing and the patient’s return to normal life.
Listen to Your Body During the Tummy Tuck Recovery Process!
After a tummy tuck surgery, you may need to stay in the hospital for 2 nights. You may experience pain in the first two days and feel tired and weak. This period is critical for the recovery process. Especially in the first two days, you should take short walks with the help of a nurse to ensure that your blood circulation returns to normal. You should drink plenty of water and eat well. You will feel better from the third day onwards.
Remember! Your body will tell you what it wants, how much it can do, and how much it can push. Listen to your body.
Smoking and similar habits can delay stitch closure. You should quit these habits.
After a tummy tuck surgery, your abdominal area may feel tense due to the effect of the stitches. Therefore, it is beneficial to walk hunched over in the first week. This way, your stitches will not stretch.
Try not to lift heavy objects and avoid sudden movements of the waist.
You can return to work after 4-5 weeks, depending on the type of work you do. Desk jobs or jobs that require light labor are recommended.
We recommend that you wear your corset for 3 months.
The lying position is crucial after a tummy tuck surgery. Your abdominal area should not be stretched. Therefore, it is recommended that you take a bed position with an angle of approximately 45 degrees.
Especially for a month, try to sleep close to the position we mentioned above. Apart from this, you can also prefer to sleep on your side.
Pay attention to how much mobility your body provides you after a tummy tuck surgery. Observe the sensitivity of your stitches when standing upright.
“Under normal conditions, you should wait between 30-40 days to lie face down after a tummy tuck surgery. As I mentioned above, you can extend this period yourself by listening to your body, or you can start lying face down after 1 month.“
A tummy tuck surgery is an operation determined according to the patient’s needs. It can be performed on anyone who has reached the age of 18 under normal conditions. The reason for the age limit of 18 is that the patient has completed their physical development process. If medically necessary, with the approval of the parents and the doctor’s decision, it can be planned to be performed a few years earlier. Apart from these criteria, the age limit for tummy tuck surgery is 18.
It would be more accurate to change the question of how non-surgical tummy tuck is done to “how is non-surgical abdominal skin tightening done?”
The photo above shows a woman with sagging belly skin and a problem of fat accumulation in the waist and belly area. It is not possible to correct this skin, which spoils the aesthetic appearance, non-surgically. Performing liposuction only on this patient will not do any good other than obtaining a more saggy belly.
Patients may ask if non-surgical tummy tuck is possible because they are generally afraid of surgical operations or want to shorten the recovery process. Patient consultation and physical examination are essential in answering this question. Is tummy tuck surgery necessary? Will the abdominal skin sag if only liposuction is performed? Questions like these should be answered.
The newest of the methods used to tighten abdominal skin is J plasma. It is used for skin tightening of the abdomen. It is recommended for patients who have the possibility of skin sagging due to decreased fat after liposuction.
The Vaser liposuction technology, which is one of the liposuction techniques, provides excellent results in both fat removal and skin tightening.
Tummy tuck surgery is not recommended for patients with a body mass index of 30 and above (this criterion is not valid for every doctor). The risk of embolism increases in patients with a high weight ratio.
Those with chronic illnesses need to undergo detailed control. Patients with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, bleeding disorder, heart disease, and thyroid disease are decided to undergo surgery after necessary tests and consultations.
It is very important for the patient to quit smoking and similar habits at least 1 month before the tummy tuck surgery and to quit this habit for at least 1 month after the surgery.
Tummy tuck surgery is a surgical operation. Therefore, excess skin is removed by cutting. The area where the skin is removed is sutured with absorbable stitches. The stitch scars that occur after a tummy tuck surgery begin to fade from the first month. The scars will be less visible after 1 year. However, the scars after a tummy tuck surgery never completely disappear.
