With such a variation in techniques and types if abdominoplasty you will probably receive as many answers as surgeons. My regime for standard abdominoplasty with rectus plication is overnight stay, clexane and TEDS till mobile, elasticated abdominal binder, mobilise semi-erect first morning post op, drains out and patient home on day one post op. Abdominal binder , ted stocking for six weeks. Micropore (paper tape) on scar for three months.
