Abdominoplasty or “Tummy Tuck” – Plastic Surgery

The abdomen will naturally be swollen and sore for the first few days. It is recommended that you begin walking a little bit every day in the first week and then build up to longer walks over the following weeks, to help prevent blood clot formation and ease swelling.

Refraining from smoking and following the instructions will help scars to heal and fade faster. It takes approximately nine months for the scars to lighten in color and flatten out like the rest of your skin, however, from right after the surgery, they won’t be visible when wearing your bathing suit or bikini.
