One of our most popular plastic surgery procedures is the tummy tuck. This procedure can help flatten your stomach, tighten loose skin, and repair stretched abdominal muscles.

Many patients wonder about the recovery time for a tummy tuck. Since this is a major procedure, you will need to take some time to rest and recover at home. We recommend that you have someone available to watch your children and do household chores for the first few days.

Swelling from a tummy tuck is completely normal, and may last for up to three months. However, most of the swelling should subside after the first four weeks or so.
