The first few days after a tummy tuck surgery can be the most difficult as your body adjusts to the changes made during the procedure. Pain, swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common during this time. The first 24 to 48 hours after surgery are usually the most intense, and it's important to rest and follow your surgeon's instructions to manage pain and avoid complications.
Days 3-7 can also be challenging as swelling and discomfort may continue to increase before starting to improve. During this time, it is important to continue to rest, avoid strenuous activities, and wear compression garments as directed by your surgeon.
Around one to two weeks after surgery, you may begin to feel more comfortable and able to move around more easily. However, it is important to continue to avoid strenuous activities and to follow your surgeon's instructions for recovery.
Overall, the first two weeks after a tummy tuck are typically the most challenging, but it is important to be patient and allow your body time to heal for the best possible outcome.
