Tummy Tuck in New York City & Long Island

Tummy Tuck surgery, like any surgical procedure, involves a certain level of discomfort during the recovery process. Pain is subjective and varies from person to person, and we take it extremely seriously. You can expect some soreness, swelling, and bruising in the days following the surgery, but these effects will gradually subside as you heal. Our team at KH Plastic Surgery will guide you on how to alleviate discomfort and ensure a smooth recovery process.

The number of appointments you’ll need for a Tummy Tuck procedure can vary depending on your individual case and the specifics of your surgery. After your procedure, anticipate a series of follow-up visits to ensure your recovery is progressing as expected. Around one week after your surgery, Dr. Hoschander will schedule a follow-up appointment to assess your healing and discuss your satisfaction with the initial results. You’ll have additional appointments to monitor your progress and ensure everything is on track. Dr. Hoschander will provide clear guidance on the timing of these follow-ups to support your recovery journey.

The timeline for results from a Tummy Tuck procedure can vary for each patient. Typically, you might start noticing initial improvements within a few weeks as post-operative swelling gradually subsides. However, the final results of your Tummy Tuck may take a few months to fully manifest.

During this time, your body will continue to heal, and the contours of your abdomen will become more defined and toned. It’s important to be patient and give your body the necessary time to heal and settle into its new shape. Dr. Hoschander will provide you with detailed guidance on what to expect during your recovery and when you can anticipate seeing the final outcomes of your Tummy Tuck surgery.
