Is the tummy tuck surgery painful?
Abdominoplasty is a significant surgical intervention. After surgery, your abdominal wall will be tender. Remember, not only has a good bit of skin and fat been removed, but also your abdominal muscles have been tightened. This being said, patients routinely do well with appropriate oral pain medication, rest, and supportive care. You’ll be most comfortable in a “lazy-boy” position for the first several days , and laxatives are recommended to avoid straining at bowel movement.
