Beverly Hills area plastic surgeon discusses tummy tuck recovery timeline

Patients ask: “What is the average recovery time for a tummy tuck?”
Recovery time from surgery varies greatly from patient to patient. Social downtime may be needed as well as time off of work, especially if patients have jobs that require strenuous lifting or long days on their feet. Exercise should be slowed and gradually added into one’s daily routine weeks after the procedure. Patients should also take great care in changing bandages and taking it easy to reduce the chance of issues arising. Dr. Dennis Dass, MD suggests patients consider a week or two of downtime to allow the body the chance to heal before integrating regular activities into their schedule. Patients with high-intensity jobs may require longer time for returning to work than patients who have desk jobs or low-impact positions.(855) 496-4646
