🔔 Your tummy tuck results depend not just on the surgery — but on how you care for your body afterward.
Here are five things to avoid so your healing stays smooth and your results stay beautiful:
🛑 Heavy lifting
Anything that strains your core can disrupt the muscle repair. Avoid lifting kids, groceries, or weights until your surgeon clears you.
🛑 Smoking or ni****ne
Ni****ne slows healing, affects circulation, and increases the risk of complications. Avoid all forms — ci******es, vapes, patches, everything.
🛑 Skipping your compression garment
Compression controls swelling, supports the repaired tissues, and helps shape your final contour. Wearing it consistently makes a noticeable difference.
🛑 Strenuous exercise too early
Your body needs time to heal. Starting workouts too soon can cause swelling, discomfort, or even compromise the repair. Light walking is fine — leave the rest for later.
🛑 Ignoring follow-up appointments
Your surgeon monitors your healing, incision progress, and scar formation. These check-ins ensure you’re recovering safely and getting the best outcome possible.
Healing is a partnership — and these steps help protect the investment you made in yourself ♥️
