Main Information

For the first few days following surgery, the abdomen will feel swollen and tight with some pain and discomfort.
At first you may not be able to stand up straight without feeling a tugging sensation, but you should start walking as soon as possible. 
Bruising after the surgery is usually quite light but swelling is substantial and it can take up to three months to disappear. Risks also include numbness of the abdominal skin and it may take several months for the sensation to return. 
Like all surgical procedures, there is always a possibility of complications or side effects and, although rare, these can include infection, a reaction to the anaesthesia, blood or fluid collection underneath the skin, nerve damage, blood clots, and an irregular or a “lop-sided” appearance after the operation. 
The surgery does produce a permanent scar which, depending on the extent of the procedure, may extend from hip to hip. Your scars may actually appear to worsen during the first three to six months as they heal, but this is normal. Expect it to take nine months to a year before your scars flatten out and lighten in colour. While they'll never disappear completely, abdominal scars will not show under most clothing.
It may take you weeks or months to feel like your old self again. If you start out in top physical condition with strong abdominal muscles, recovery from this procedure will be much faster than if you are out of shape when you have the operation.
