In this video, Dr. Shim Ching, board-certified plastic surgeon in Honolulu, explains what patients should realistically expect during the recovery process. Recovery is one of the most important factors to understand before surgery. A tummy tuck involves muscle repair and skin removal, which requires proper healing time and careful post-operative care. You’ll learn how long recovery typically takes, what the first few days feel like, and why avoiding strain on your core is critical for proper healing. This also covers how pain is managed, including the use of long-acting local anesthetics to improve early recovery and reduce discomfort. If you’re planning a tummy tuck, this will help you prepare for recovery and understand what to expect step by step.
