A tummy tuck can transform your figure, but the final results depend on how well you recover. At Greenberg Cosmetic Surgery & Dermatology, we offer a specialized Post-Tummy Tuck Package that supports every stage of your healing journey. With expert guidance, advanced therapies, and tailored care, this package is designed to help you recover faster, feel better, and enjoy long-lasting results with confidence.

Our Post-Tummy Tuck Package Options

Our aftercare package is designed to support your body through every stage of recovery and enhancement after a tummy tuck procedure. Each element plays a key role in optimizing your results, reducing discomfort, and helping you feel confident in your new shape.

Our packages are fully customized to meet your individual goals and recovery needs. Whether you want to focus on reducing swelling, enhancing muscle tone, improving skin quality, or maintaining your results long-term, we’ll tailor the plan with the right combination of treatments and support services—like those listed below—to help you recover confidently and completely.

Swelling & Immediate Post-Recovery

Lymphatic Drainage Massage

This gentle, targeted technique is essential in the early stages after your tummy tuck procedure. By helping your body move lymphatic fluid more efficiently, lymphatic drainage massage reduces swelling and speeds up recovery. It supports your immune system and improves circulation, laying the groundwork for a smoother, more comfortable healing journey.

Compression Garments (Upgraded or Specialized)

Wearing the right compression garment can make a significant difference in your recovery. Our upgraded or specialized options offer targeted support for the lower abdomen, helping to control swelling, improve contour, and promote proper tissue adherence.

Body Contouring to Improve & Maintain Results

EMSCULPT®

EMSCULPT® uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to contract the abdominal muscles at a rate far beyond what can be achieved through regular exercise. This treatment helps rebuild strength and tone in the core, enhancing post-surgical results and contributing to a flatter, firmer appearance.

VelaShape®

This procedure involves a combination of infrared light, bipolar radiofrequency energy, and vacuum technology to reduce the appearance of cellulite and improve skin texture. VelaShape® is especially effective in smoothing and contouring the treated area, adding a polished finish to your tummy tuck outcome.

J-Plasma Skin Rejuvenation

J-Plasma is a cutting-edge treatment that uses cold plasma energy to tighten skin and improve texture. It is especially beneficial for addressing excess skin following a tummy tuck, helping to achieve a smoother, more youthful-looking abdominal area without additional surgery.

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 body treatments provide contouring solutions to tone and remodel all areas of the body. The treatments use radiofrequency energy to coagulate fat, tone muscles, remodel skin and address cellulite and crepey skin as well imperfections such as vascular lesions, spider veins, port wine stains, and leg veins. Morpheus8 Body with Burst technology is a deep fractional treatment that delivers RF energy to multi-level depths in a single cycle for customized skin, tissue, fat and collagen remodeling with reduced treatment time. This treatment is usually performed in a series to enhance post tummy tuck results by improving skin tone and quality.

Scar Therapy Program

Our scar therapy program is designed to ensure your incision sites heal properly. We use medical-grade topical treatments, silicone-based products, and professional techniques that soften and flatten scars while minimizing discoloration over time. This step is essential for maintaining skin health and aesthetics.

Long-Term Maintenance

Nutritional Support or Supplement Guidance

What you put into your body can directly impact your healing process. Our experts offer tailored nutritional advice and supplement guidance to promote faster tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and support overall wellness during your recovery period.

Muscle Strengthening or Core Rebuilding Plan

We offer a guided muscle strengthening and core rebuilding plan to maintain a defined abdominal profile. This includes customized exercises and techniques to restore balance, stability, and strength to your core, reinforcing the surgical outcomes and preventing future issues.

Customized Skincare for the Abdomen

Your abdominal skin requires special attention after surgery. We provide customized skincare solutions for post-tummy tuck needs to soothe, hydrate, and promote healing. These treatments help improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity for long-term results.

Maintenance Sessions

We offer periodic maintenance sessions tailored to your needs to ensure lasting results. These may include additional massages, energy-based treatments, or follow-up skincare to preserve your abdomen’s tone, texture, and tightness well after the initial healing phase.

FAQ

Is pain medication essential during the recovery process?

During tummy tuck recovery, pain medication is often recommended to help manage discomfort in the days following surgery. Most patients experience tightness and soreness in the treated area, lasting several weeks. We encourage using ice packs, plenty of rest, and avoiding strenuous activities like heavy lifting to further support healing. Promoting healthy blood flow is also essential—this includes light movement, staying hydrated, and making sure to avoid smoking, which can compromise healing at the incision site and increase complication risks.

What is drain care, and is it included in the post-tummy tuck package?

Drain care involves managing small tubes temporarily placed under the skin to prevent fluid buildup after surgery. Proper care is essential for minimizing infection and supporting faster healing. While our Post-Tummy Tuck Package focuses on advanced recovery treatments such as massage, scar therapy, and body contouring, our team will provide detailed education and guidance on drain care.

How long is the recovery period after a tummy tuck?

The recovery time after a tummy tuck varies by individual but typically spans six weeks. During the first week, patients should avoid showering unless cleared by their surgeon and may need help from a family member for daily tasks. Strenuous exercise and heavy physical activities should be avoided until cleared by your provider. Most people begin to feel more comfortable within a few weeks, but it can take several months to fully recover and see the final results.

How many follow-up appointments are needed after a tummy tuck?

Patients usually have one follow-up appointment in the first few days post op as well as 1 week after surgery to monitor healing and assess the incision. Additional follow-ups will be scheduled based on the body’s response and the surgeon’s recommendations. We will coordinate closely with your surgical team to ensure a smooth and safe recovery.

Why is nutritious food so crucial after a tummy tuck?

Nutritious food plays a vital role in tissue repair, immune support, and energy levels during recovery. Eating a balanced diet rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals helps the body rebuild itself, reduces inflammation, and supports faster healing. Proper nutrition can also help reduce swelling and promote more stable, long-term results.

How do I find the most qualified plastic surgeon for my tummy tuck surgery?

Start by researching board-certified plastic surgeons with extensive experience performing tummy tucks. During the initial consultation, ask about the surgeon’s credentials, review before-and-after photos, and ensure their approach aligns with your aesthetic goals. A reputable surgeon will take the time to answer your questions, explain risks and benefits, and develop a personalized treatment plan.
