Tell your Doctor the truth about any medications you take. it goes without saying using drugs is also to be avoided. Nor should you smoke or drink for months before or afterwards. You need to be aware that you should not take supplements within two weeks of surgery or for two weeks afterwards. if you keep doing them AFTER the surgery, things will go even faster. obviously if you do the right things before you are going to have a better recovery. The same things that help you before, will help you after wards. There are LOTS of things you can do if you are contemplating surgery that will speed recovery. I am a veteran of many plastic surgeries and I too have felt angry when I didn't look fantastic with in a few weeks of surgery. Nose, eyes, breast implants, breast implant removals, tummy tucks, hysterectemys. Doesn't matter where it is, or whether you can SEE it or not. The fact of the matter is, it takes about a year for your body to rebuild any area that has surgery.

didn't work, plus I had abdominal hernias that had to be corrected. I tried for 10 years to get them back in shape. I had no other options, my muscles had been distended and torn so badly they would never recover. I had mine because of muscle damage to my abdoment resulting from two difficult pregnancies and deliveries. AND an even longer period before you get what you expected right away.
they are painful and there is a long recovery period. If you could exercise and diet faithfully for a year and get the same results, would you have a tummy tuck. If they did, lots of people would probably not have them. No one tells the truth about how long it takes to recover from these procedures. In fact, I have had MANY plastic surgery procedures over the last 30 years. it took almost a year to resolve to what I expected to have in a month. I can say that I can see my abs and the contours. I continue to run, do sit-ups, and stay active. There are days that I actually look pregnant! I used to get very frustrated with the bloatedness but have come to realize that it's part of the long healing process. I'm also bloated and my stomach is hard to the touch. As I type this response, it's yet to heal. Again, my surgeon had to dig out all the hair follicles and the hole was much disturbing. Next, my incision across my bikini line has overall healed beautifully (used Scarguard religiously) but there is one spot which decided to open up into an almost dime sized hole where hair follicles were gathering. I've had to make about six "special" visits to my surgeon in order for him to pop the fat blisters and dig excess fat from my belly button which resulted in a small hole and additional healing time.
I've had so many issues with my incision and belly button! First, my belly button wasn't healing correctly due to fat tissue build-up. Hi, I'm about 5-months post abdominoplasty.
