Abdominoplasty

It is important to realize that the amount of time it takes for recovery varies greatly among individuals. Depending on the extent of your abdominoplasty and your general physical condition, you may be able to return to non-strenuous work anywhere from one to three weeks after surgery. In many instances, you can resume most of your normal activities, including some form of mild exercise, usually after six weeks. You may continue to experience some mild, periodic discomfort and swelling during this time, but such feelings are normal. Any form of severe pain should be reported immediately to the office.
