What is the Recovery Process for a Tummy Tuck?
It will be necessary for you to have a week or two off of work following your tummy tuck in Austin. You will experience some discomfort and pain for the first few days while you heal, but prescribed or even over-the-counter pain medication will help. Stitches from an abdominoplasty are normally taken out five to seven days after surgery, or possibly in several stages. Dr. Turner and his staff will give you all the guidelines you need for changing dressings, showering/bathing and walking.
