"It’s normal for people who are considering an abdominoplasty, more commonly known as a tummy tuck, to be concerned about pain management following the surgery. Some might hear from friends or other family members who have gone through the procedure that the postoperative discomfort were quite significant, even with oral pain medication.
The good news is that over the years, pain management has become more progressive which means patients have been able to benefit from less postoperative aches and pains."
