How will I feel and look immediately following abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgery?
There is temporary soreness, swelling, and possibly some bruising. An abdominal binder is worn for several weeks following abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) surgery. Soft drains under the abdominal skin flap are removed in the office approximately one week after surgery. Tiredness may persist for several weeks. Numbness of the skin of the abdomen may last for several months.
