How painful is a tummy tuck?

Tummy tucks are performed under general anesthesia, so during your surgery, you will not feel pain. After your tummy tuck, it is common to experience some discomfort near the treated area. Pain will vary from patient to patient and will likely be worst in the first three days after surgery.

Following a tummy tuck Portland patients should follow the postoperative instructions given to you by Dr. Aghayan in order to mitigate pain. Overall discomfort will reduce as time goes on and swelling and inflammation go down.
