It's been 8 weeks since my surgery, and I still feel sore when pressing on certain areas. Additionally, when getting up from a sitting position and only using my abs, it can be painful. Is this normal at this stage of recovery? I have another appointment with my plastic surgeon in a few weeks, but I wanted to hear your thoughts.
Thank you for sharing your concerns with us. At this point, two months post-op, swelling is normal. To reduce it, I recommend performing daily lymphatic drainage massage therapy over the abdomen and wearing a postoperative girdle from thigh to breasts. Kind regards.
Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon to experience pain for an extended period after a tummy tuck. I recommend discussing your concerns with your plastic surgeon, who can provide further insight into the specific details of your procedure and address the issue of pain. If you remain concerned, seeking a second opinion can also be beneficial.
Discomfort at eight weeks post-surgery is possible. If concerned, it is recommended to consult with your surgeon for a proper evaluation. - [Doctor's Name]
Most patients will wear an abdominal binder for the first week after surgery, followed by an elastic garment for compression over the next six weeks. Swelling can persist for several months but gradually improves over time.
