How Long Is Recovery From A Tummy Tuck?
You can get fully recovered from a tummy tuck surgery in around six weeks. Post-surgery swelling can take several weeks to fade away. Moreover, the following factors also speed up or slow down your recovery process;
- Your age
- Bodyweight
- Overall health
What Weight Do You Need To Be For A Tummy Tuck?
Keep in mind that putting on or putting down additional weight can undo the contoured shape gained through a tummy tuck. That’s why you need to be close to your healthy body weight (as per your BMI) before undergoing a tummy tuck/abdominoplasty.
The recommendation is to be between 4.5-6.8 kg/10-15 lbs. from your goal body weight according to most surgeons.
How Long Does A Tummy Tuck Last?
The results of abdominoplasty are generally long-lasting and you can typically get benefit from these results for many years.
