Almost all major surgeries require a recovery period, and this time is almost as critical as the actual surgery itself. The amount of recovery time needed greatly depends on the extent of the procedure done; smaller surgeries like mole removal will have a shorter recovery time, while the tummy tuck can take longer. But with tummy tuck pricing becoming more and more affordable, the procedure has experienced an unprecedented level of popularity, attracting a lot of patients who might not fully understand the recovery time needed afterwards.

The typical length of recovery is usually between 4 to 7 weeks, greatly depending on a person’s physiology, health, and age. It is important that during the 4 to 7 week recovery period, the patient adheres to the surgeon’s instructions very carefully. This is because the rules and guidelines that are set by the doctor will help the patient keep an eye out for any possible complications, and instruct them as to the frequency of taking certain medication, limiting physical activity, and more.

Of the 4-7 week recovery period, the most critical is the first. Most complications happen during the first week, and these have to be caught as soon as possible in order to prevent the complications from ruining the rest of the recovery process. In addition, the first week will be a bit restrictive, but still encourage minor physical activity in order to stop the body from having blood clots. Another important thing during the first week is to get used to the schedule of taking the prescribed medication by the surgeon.

Stitches will be removed during the 2nd or 3rd week, at which point the patient will be given the chance to do more physically strenuous activities. But as a precaution, doctors will usually ask the patient to wear special binding clothes, like elasticized stockings and abdominal binders to stop blood clots form forming.

From that point onward, as long as the patient in vigilant in watching out for complications, reporting any side-effects to the doctor as soon as they happen, and follow instructions carefully, the recovery process should go on as planned.
