Amazing tummy tuck results can take up to six months although my patients report great satisfaction much sooner in the healing process. This depends on a variety of factors including the amount of postop swelling, the condition of the preop abdomen (if you had a lot of hanging skin which the surgery removed, you’d probably be dancing for joy even if the abdomen remained swollen for a while), and the extent of surgery performed. Try to be patient and remain in close contact with your plastic surgeon during the healing process. (Robert L. Kraft, MD, New York Plastic Surgeon)
