What is the recovery like for abdominoplasty (tummy tuck)?
Of course, everyone is different, but Dr. Trott recommends taking two weeks off work and “taking it easy” during that time period. This is generally on the outside estimate of what most women need to get back to normal activities. We have found that women who have gone through childbearing recover faster. You can walk as soon as you are able , but strenuous exercise should be postponed to six weeks after surgery.
