Tummy Tuck Surgery What to Expect?

[drbermant]

Dr. Bermant-

Is this an extremely expensive surgery? I've heard varying reports.

Cost of surgery depends on the problem to be treated, and can vary from surgeon to surgeon and around the world. I have done revision surgery for patients who have tried to save money having surgery in other parts of the world. Revision surgery can be more expensive than a single stage surgery that leaves the patient happy.

Hope this helps,

You would get a pain pump put in after the surgery for 4 days. Plus good pain killers. The most pain is from the Dr sewing your ab muscles back together. I have taken 4 weeks off from work to recover.

Comfort and return to activities after Tummy Tuck Surgery really does depend on the problem to be treated, operative technique(s) used, skill of your surgeon, and other factors. None of my patients have needed pain pumps with my Tumescent Tummy Tuck Technique. Take some time and listen to the audio files where my Tumescent Tummy Tuck patients discuss their comfort and return to activities after this surgery. You can also view videos of patients moving before and after tummy tuck surgery, some of the movies are only days after the operation.

Hope this helps,
