While it can take up to 6 months to fully recover from a tummy tuck, you will make good progress after 2 to 3 weeks. Most people can return to work at the 2-week mark and resume their usual workout routine after 4 or 5 weeks. Remember, you need to recover at your own pace, so give your body time to heal.
Tummy tuck surgery is frequently combined with other surgical procedures, but its recovery is usually the most extensive. So even if you combine another surgery, such as breast augmentation, with your tummy tuck, your recovery period should remain the same as we outlined above.
