Abdominoplasty recovery takes anywhere from 7 to 14 days, depending on the extent of the surgery and if your surgeon performed additional procedures. Since you'll need to give your body plenty of time to recover, and daily chores and activities will be difficult if not impossible to perform while recovering, it's best to arrange for extra help around the house and with your children and pets.
If you have drains in place after the surgery, you'll probably need assistance (especially for the first few days) emptying them every few hours.
