Post-surgery
The patient is reviewed by the surgeon on the first to second day post-surgery. The time of hospitalisation is individual; in average it is 4- 5 days. Drains are removed after this time and the patient is discharged to home care. Bearing of special compressive girdle (panties) in the early phase is very important. Firstly, it prevents shakes of the abdomen during any body movement and thereby restricts pain. After an abdominoplasty, it is necessary after removing the stitches (usually not earlier than after 14 days) to start with pressure massage of the scars. Increased physical exertion is not recommended in the first two months after surgery. Bathing in water is not suitable either. On the contrary, shower is recommended as early as from the third day after surgery.
