Typically most patients resume work within 2-4 weeks after an abdominoplasty, and engage in more strenuous exercises after 6 weeks. Your Specialist Plastic Surgeon may advise the use of a supporting girdle to assist with optimal healing and body contour. You will need to wear post-surgical compression garments for about 6 weeks to minimise swelling and aid in the healing process.
It’s essential to highlight that each patient’s recovery process requires sufficient time, support, and proper postoperative care. Healing abilities and pain tolerance may vary among individuals, resulting in differences in recovery duration and the ability to engage in various activities.
