What is the recovery with a full tummy tuck?
Complete recovery from a fully tummy tuck may take 6-8 weeks. During the first ten days to two weeks you will usually remain at home resting comfortably. During this time patients are encouraged to walk around the house. After the initial recovery you will ease back into your daily activities during the next 2-3weeks. You should refrain from heavy exercise for 6-8 weeks after the operation.
