Thank you for your question. Many patients experience an adjustment period after getting braces, and the duration can vary from person to person. Some individuals adapt to the new situation quicker than others. It is important to be patient during this process. If you are experiencing any discomfort, you can take Tylenol to help alleviate it. Dental soft wax can also be used to make it more comfortable if there are any sharp areas bothering your lips or cheeks. I recommend discussing with your dentist if you are a candidate for Invisalign. If so, you may consider switching and proceeding with clear aligners. Best of luck.
Each individual's healing process is unique, but typically after about a week, the patient will be able to stand up straight. The skin has been stretched and sewn tightly to achieve the flattest and smoothest result possible, and it will gradually ease and stretch over time. Good luck!
Thank you for your question! The timeline for standing straight up after a tummy tuck can vary, but based on my experience of performing over one thousand tummy tucks, most patients are able to gradually stand straight up by 5-7 days post-op. Best of luck to you!
It is recommended to wait at least 8 weeks and complete the healing process before considering further action.
