💡 Where Does It Hurt Most After a Tummy Tuck? Let’s Break It Down
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) can create stunning results — a flatter, firmer abdomen and a more confident you! 💃 But like any surgery, it does come with some post-op discomfort. Understanding where you’ll feel the most soreness can help you prepare mentally and physically for a smoother recovery.
💥 1. Incision Site (Lower Abdomen)
This is usually the most sensitive area. The incision typically stretches from hip to hip just above the pubic line. It may feel tight, sore, or burning for several days to weeks.
🛏️ Tip: Sleep with your upper body elevated and knees slightly bent to reduce tension on the incision.
💪 2. Abdominal Muscles
Since the surgeon tightens the muscles underneath your skin to create that toned look, you may feel deep soreness—especially when standing up, coughing, or laughing.
😣 Think of it like an intense core workout… times ten!
💧 3. Drain Placement Sites
Surgical drains are placed to prevent fluid buildup. These small tubes can cause localized tenderness or irritation, especially near the exit points.
🧼 Tip: Keep drains clean and secure — your surgeon will guide you on how to care for them properly.
