Tummy Tuck

Wound fluid might collect in the abdomen area for the first several days after surgery. It's also possible to experience little bleeding. The compression garment, on the other hand, absorbs both liquids. You may notice bruises around the area where the surgery was performed, but these are perfectly harmless.

You should stop smoking and drinking alcohol four weeks before your appointment to avoid disrupting blood circulation and wound healing. Blood-thinning medications (such as aspirin) should then be avoided.

A little feeling of soreness may develop in the first few days, although this is easily managed with medicines.

Allow yourself plenty of rest and don't strain yourself during the first 14 days after the treatment. Short walks, on the other hand, can assist reduce swelling. You should only sleep on your back or side for the first month after the operation. To prevent swelling and pain and to help healing, a specific bodice must be worn for roughly six weeks. To avoid constipation and the tension it causes in the abdominal wall, eat a high-fiber diet during the healing process. Please don't take a shower for a week. Smoking should also be avoided for a period of time following the operation to avoid jeopardizing the wound's blood supply. After six to eight weeks, you can return to your sport. For a year after the operation, avoid continuous UV exposure (sunbathing, tanning beds) to allow the scar to heal correctly.

You can return to work after two to three weeks if you have an office job or other non-physically demanding employment. A sabbatical of up to six weeks may be required if you work in a physically demanding job. This is a decision that is taken on an individual basis.

After roughly three months, the wound was completely healed. Six weeks following the operation, you can begin to appreciate your new, flat centre.
