It&#8217;s most commonly chosen by people whose skin has stretched from pregnancy, significant weight loss, or the natural aging process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on each patient&#8217;s needs, the procedure may also include liposuction to remove excess fat around the waist, upper abdomen, and back. This gives the overall silhouette a more natural, sculpted result in a single session.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At MAXi Clinic, every tummy tuck also involves internal muscle repair. The deep abdominal muscles often separate during pregnancy, a condition called diastasis recti, and are sutured back together from the inside. This gives the abdomen not just a flat appearance on the surface, but genuine strength and firmness underneath.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain during the hospital stay is managed with a <\/span><b>Patient-Controlled Analgesia (PCA)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> system, which allows patients to administer their own pain relief as needed. This keeps discomfort well under control throughout the initial recovery period.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-1325654392 {\n  font-size: 1.1rem;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\" style=\"margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:30px;max-width:1000px;height:1px;background-color:rgb(53, 53, 53);\"><\/div>\n<h2>So Why the Bent Posture?<\/h2>\n\t<div id=\"text-2360922248\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After surgery, the abdominal skin has been pulled taut and sutured in a new position, both on the surface and deep within the muscle layer.

How you move in the first week makes a real difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the <\/span><b>first seven days after surgery<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, walking with a slight forward lean, hips and lower back gently flexed, is strongly recommended. Here&#8217;s why:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. It Reduces Tension Across the Incision Line<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The abdominal skin has been repositioned and held there under tension. Walking upright too soon creates a strong pulling force directly on the wound. A slight forward lean gives the incision line room to breathe.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. It Makes Movement Much More Comfortable<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the early days, the abdominal muscles and skin are swollen and highly sensitive. Walking upright during this phase is not just uncomfortable, it can be genuinely painful. Keeping a forward lean lets you move around without fighting against your own healing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. It Protects the Internal Repair<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because MAXi&#8217;s technique includes suturing the deep abdominal muscles internally, standing and walking fully upright too early puts those internal stitches under strain. A slight forward posture keeps everything in the right position while the repair sets.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-3937286904 {\n  font-size: 1.1rem;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1838138179\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/maxiclinic.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/P1470330_11zon.webp\" class=\"attachment-original size-original\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maxiclinic.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/P1470330_11zon.webp 1200w, https:\/\/maxiclinic.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/P1470330_11zon-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/maxiclinic.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/P1470330_11zon-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/maxiclinic.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/P1470330_11zon-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1838138179 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-558907882\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block;
