How long is the recovery period after a “tummy tuck” ?
After the procedure you should plan on moving around your house and doing light normal activities. You will not be placed on any period of “bed rest.” Most people return to work within about ten to fourteen days. Exercise will be limited during the first few weeks following the procedure, but your plastic surgeon will work with you to describe which sorts of exercises you can do during the various phases of your recovery. You should not do any heavy lifting of more than about ten pounds for six weeks.
