🛌 How Much Bed Rest Do You Need After a Tummy Tuck?
After a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), getting enough rest is essential for healing — but so is getting up and moving at the right time. So how much bed rest is really needed?
⏳ First 48 Hours: Full Rest Mode
For the first 24–48 hours, most patients need to stay in bed and limit movement. Expect soreness, swelling, and fatigue. This is your body’s time to start the healing process — don't rush it!
🚶♀️ After 2 Days: Gentle Movement
Once the initial phase is over, light walking around the house is encouraged. It helps:
✅ Boost circulation
✅ Prevent blood clots
✅ Speed up healing
💡 Tip: Set reminders to walk around every 1–2 hours during the day.
⚠️ What to Avoid
❌ No heavy lifting
❌ No bending or twisting
❌ No intense workouts for 6 weeks
Your abdominal muscles need time to fully heal. Pushing too hard, too fast can lead to setbacks.
