Windsor Tummy Tuck
- We encourage you to start walking almost immediately
after your surgery to diminish the risk of blood clots in
your legs, as a result of immobilization from the anaesthetic.
Even while you are resting, you should be moving your feet
and ankles frequently to promote circulation in your legs. In
our experience, this will help you will recover much faster,
and with fewer complications.
- Bruising and discolouration are to be expected. This will
mostly disappear in approximately 2 - 4 weeks. You may
find, due to swelling following surgery, that you appear
larger than before surgery. Skin tightening begins about 4
weeks after surgery and continues slowly up to one year. A
feeling of tightness in your abdominal wall may persist for
several weeks. This is a natural result of removal of excess
tissue and will resolve with time.
- You may experience some numbness and tingling in the
skin over the areas that have been operated on. This will
also resolve with time.
- Social activity involving large amounts of alcohol and
sexual activity should be limited for approximately one
month. During this period, avoid lifting objects heavier than
5 kg and strenuous aerobic activity. By and large, you
should let your body be your guide. If it doesn’t hurt, go do
it. If it does hurt, stop.
- Do not smoke for at least 6 weeks after surgery.
- Once your incision is completely healed, we advise you to
cover it with surgical paper tape for a period of 4 to 6
months. This will help to support the scar and keep it flat.
You do not have to remove the tape on a daily basis, as it
may tear your skin. Replace it only when it comes off on its
own.
