Bethesda Cosmetic Surgeon discusses Tummy Tuck Recovery
Dr. Roger J. Oldham is a board certified plastic surgeon serving the Washington D.C. area with decades of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery experience. For more than 25 years, Dr. Oldham has been caring for patients through procedures like blepharoplasty, breast reduction, mole removal and Botox injections. Among these various procedures are body contouring procedures like modified abdominoplasty, liposuction, and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). For patients with dissatisfaction in their abdominal internal strength and external appearance, abdominoplasty surgery is ideal.
Perhaps one of the most common inquiries patients have about abdominoplasty surgery is what happens before and after. On Dr. Oldham’s photo gallery you can see patients as they appear before and after tummy tuck/abdominoplasty surgery. Past patients of Dr. Oldham usually experience an alleviation of post-operative sensations after one or two weeks and return to work after 10-14 days. Of course, we all heal differently, but body contouring surgery like abdominoplasty typically require a relatively brief amount of time off for patients and recovery can be quite quick for healthy, ideal patients.
