The recovery time after an abdominoplasty varies from patient to patient, however, individuals can typically expect a recovery period of about six to eight weeks. During the initial days after surgery, patients typically experience swelling bruising, and other discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medications. Patients will generally be advised to take at least a short period off of work and to avoid particularly strenuous activities while the body heals. This will often be a period of several weeks. As the recovery progresses, most patients can gradually return to their normal activities, but they should continue to abstain from heavy lifting or vigorous exercise until they are cleared by their surgeon. The specialists at En Vogue Medi-Spa will provide post-operative instructions for each patient and schedule follow-up visits to monitor the healing process. An abdominoplasty is available at En Vogue Medi-Spa. For more information, contact our friendly staff to schedule a consultation. Our clinics are located in Southampton, PA, and Langhorne, PA.
