Good morning.

Welcome.
It depends on the kind of procedure:
- mini-abdominoplasty (lower part of the abdomen) - about 2 weeks
- normal abdominoplasty (full abdomen) - about 2-3 weeks
- full, high tension abdominoplasty (with musculus rectus abdominis capsule plasty) - 3-4 weeks.

Recovery period means the time, when it will be uncomfortable to you to work and this is a time for wound healing.
After the procedure, 3-months period of safe lifestyle is reccomended (means without moderate and heavy physical effort).

Hi dear visitor
In normal condition..day after surgery..walking...2 day going home...working with out effort...eventually 10 to 20 days...
Sports...2months and half dependimg on the effort.
Warm regards

it depends on the extent of the abdominoplasty procedure. whereas a limited \"mini-abdominoplasty\" takes about a week, a full abdominoplasty with plication of the undelying muscles can take up to 4 weeks of down-time.
equally important is if wound healing proceeds without any complications, which can happen in this kind of surgery.
as a rule of thumb, the patient is on the safe side when planning 3-4 weeks of leave from work with this procedure.

Dear Patient:

The recovery period after abdominoplasty is variable and depends on many factors. Most importantly, in the immediate postoperative period is the early movement of the legs (walking) and oral hiper hydration. The patient should not stay in bed. During the first 2 weeks, the patient should walk at least an hour a day. Then start walking 2 hours a day until the first month. The second month, you can go to the spa and make-led sports doctor. Do not smoke or exposure to UV rays of the sun for 6 months. You could drive a car at 3 weeks, perform office work or study from 15 days and have moderate effort a month.

Despite this, remember that each case is handled individually.

It is not advisable to remain in bed after surgery, but you can not restart normal activity too soon. I won't let my patients to return to work until at least 3 weeks have passed, and sports or other strenouss activities until 4 weeks after surgery.

Two weeks does not pull and push and carry objects. You wear a corset 6 to 8 nedelja. Sports activity after two to three months.

You would be mobilized the same day. You could return to desk job after 10 to 14 days and sports after six weeks.

Abdominoplasty operations vary in scope and are frequently subdivided into categoriesThe most predictive measure of a patient’s abdominoplasty recovery time is his or her health.

Dear,
Recovery is quick especially if mini-abdominoplasty is performed. If full abdominoplasty is performed, recovery takes a few weeks, depending on the type of procedure performed.

With Best Wishes

Normal postoperative recovery is 4-6 weeks. Abdominoplasty can performed under a local anaesthetic or a general anaesthetic as a day stay procedure. A flat and well-toned abdomen is something many of us strive for through exercise and weight control. Sometimes these methods cannot achieve our goals. Even individuals of otherwise normal body weight and proportion can develop an abdomen that protrudes or is loose and sagging. The most common causes of this include: . Pregnancy . Aging . Significant fluctuations in weight . Heredity . Prior surgery What it won’t do: A tummy tuck is not a substitute for weight loss or an appropriate exercise program. Although the results of a tummy tuck are technically permanent, the positive outcome can be greatly diminished by significant fluctuations in your weight. For this reason, individuals who are planning substantial weight loss or women who may be considering future pregnancies may be advised to postpone a tummy tuck. Also, a tummy tuck cannot correct stretch marks, although these may be removed or somewhat improved if they are located on the areas of excess skin that will be excised, generally those treated areas below the belly button. Is it right for me? Tummy tuck surgery is a highly individualized procedure and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else’s desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image. Abdominoplasty is a good option for you if: . You are physically healthy and at a stable weight . You have realistic expectations . You are a non-smoker . You are bothered by the feeling that your tummy is too large.

you can go back to work after 2 weeks ,and start excercing after 8 weeks.

One month, is necessary to return all ativitites, this period is mandatory to recover.

recovery time for a full abdominoplasty with muscle tightening is around 3 months.but you can restart your light activities after 3 to 4 weeks.

Hopsital stay is about 2 days, general recovery about 10 days.

You can return to your work after a few weeks ( 3-4 weeks ), however you will be able to do sports after a few months ( 3-4 months ), until complete healing has taken place. This is in case you undergo full abdominoplasty. However, if you undergo Mini-Abdominoplasty ( below the umblicus ), recovery is more quicker. In these cases, you can return to your work, after some 3 weeks, and you can resume sports after 2-3 months.
