Dr. Matthew Schulman, New York City Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, explains the 5 stages of a Tummy Tuck Recovery. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures. Dr. Schulman breaks down the tummy tuck recovery into 5 stages:
- Immediately after surgery
- First 48 hours
- 1-2 weeks after surgery
- 4-6 weeks after surgery
- 6 months after surgery
This comprehensive video will help you be more prepared for your tummy tuck and is helpful to anyone who is thinking about having the procedure or has a family member thinking about a tummy tuck.

    I’m 5 days post-op tummy tuck and flank lipo, and I have no regrets at all. The first 48hrs are ruff but day 3-5 I’m up moving more showering and dressing myself. I don’t regret it at all, I knew going into it, it wasn’t going to be a quick recovery so I set the expectation for myself ahead of time. The biggest thing bothering me day 5 is the lower back pain from walking hunched over, I’m planning to get massages once my drains are out to hopefully help with body pains and discomfort. This video was truly helpful and got me excited about the weeks and months ahead!!

    Im on day 5 after getting my tummy tuck + Liposuction. All I can say is the first three days were the WORST. I was feeling super depressed and asking myself why I willingly did this to myself and could I have not just been satisfied with the weight loss itself. However today I was super positive and active and managed to walk around a lot more. I can basically almost stand up straight which is strange - slightly hunched when I walk. The scars on the tummy tend to sting a lot and really hurt especially whilst sleeping. My honest advice is walk around as soon as you can.

    Great video. I had a mommy makeover June 9, 2023 and my healing process is going well. The first 2-4 days were rough; however, I had a great support system. I walked slight hunched over for about 2 weeks. After day 4, I was able to walk upstairs and by day 10, I was driving. I used a lift chair the first week to help take the pressure off my abdomen. I deal with swelling of course, but that is to be expected. I ordered a wedge pillow set from Amazon, so I was sleeping in my bed at week 3. Everyone's healing process is different. My experience has been very postive thus far and I love my new stomach and breast already. I pray for all those out there in the recovery stage.

My underarms are SO tender… I have compression garnet on belly which isn’t too bad- I feel secure. The compression garmet under my arms?? Wow sore, the rubbing under my armpits!!!! Yikes! I’m starting to see the difference now in my tummy and back waist mushroom is gone. My “ loose flappy underarm skin otherwise known as “ Bingo!!! Arms” lol is gone. I cannot wait to start my gym journey and continue tightening my body. I’ll be 60 in Jan and looking forward to my continued recovery and body changes. Good luck to all who are considering tummy tucks… it is an amazing outcome, and nothing to be afraid of.

    What I did NOT Expect… days 5 through 9 were the worst. I felt like it was never gonna end, you have no idea how much your back is going to kill from having to walk hunched over all the time. and you have no idea how much your head is going to hurt from having to lay on your back the whole time.. I couldn't sleep I was so incredibly frustrated and sad. It was definitely a difficult time and lots of regret. I am on day 11 now and I'm starting to feel a little better, my back is still killing me and I'm still not sleeping very well because I am in the V position and the back of my head just never feels any better no matter what I do. It's actually pretty difficult....

    @@divergentmind2023 im 3 months out now, and an feeling much better! I thought it was never going to happen. I felt pretty horrible for the 1st 4 to 5 weeks I have to say... And then it started gradually getting better. I still can't stretch fully because it pulls on my stomach. But my stomach looks great actually. And although I can't say I regret it, knowing what I know now I wouldn't have done it.. I certainly lost a large portion of time where I was unable to spend time with my grandchildren or do fun things And life is short so everyday counts. I definitely felt like it was a waste of days 😪 but it is what it is..

    I had a tummy tuck 10/22 eight weeks later I developed a very large seroma. I had to go back in for surgery. Opened up and my lining of my tummy was scored and the serums scraped out. My surgeon had to snip the sutures so they wouldn’t irritate the new huge wound left by the seroma and all of my muscles came apart. I’m laying in bed in May 1923 with my third just four days ago and I pray to God I heal from this this is been the most difficult medical ordeal I’ve ever faced.
