Tummy Tuck Recovery Florham Park

Supporting Our Patients from the Initial Consultation to the Final Result

As with any surgical procedure, abdominoplasty patients should anticipate a certain amount of tummy tuck recovery time. At New Jersey-based Northeastern Plastic Surgery, Dr. Joseph Fodero and our team of exceptional nurses work tirelessly to provide the safest and most effective care possible, with a minimum amount of discomfort. This care proceeds through the tummy tuck recovery period as well, as the body works to heal properly.

Tummy Tuck Recovery

Tummy tuck recovery can last for up to 12 days. This healing period varies from patient to patient, depending on lifestyle, type of employment, body type, and other factors. There may be some minor swelling of the abdomen during the first few days. Any aches can be easily mitigated with medication that is provided by Dr. Fodero. During these first days, you should remain at rest to avoid any discomfort or complications.

During the healing period, it is important that you follow all of Dr. Fodero’s instructions carefully in order to make a smooth and safe tummy tuck recovery more likely. You should be able to engage in light exercise such as brisk strolls after approximately seven days. This can help with the healing process. Any exercise, however, should be approved by Dr. Fodero, as more strenuous exercise can do more harm than good. Most of our patients complete their tummy tuck recovery feeling better and more confident than they have in years.
