How long does it take for your skin to feel normal after a tummy tuck?

Usually 1 week: If by "normal" you mean not stretched out, then that feeling usually resolves in about 1 week. The entire healing process takes several weeks and the scar will continue to change for many months.

Weeks to months: You will see the tightened and smoother skin soon after a tummy tuck, but there is often an area of numbness or reduced sensitivity in the lower abdomen. This can take several months to resolve but is not usually bothersome.

Nerves are stretched: Most of the time after abdominoplasty the nerves are stretched and therefore can regain feeling. There are some nerves that need to be intentionally severed to do the operation. These areas may or may not regain sensitivity.

Variable: It may take up to a year or more for the feeling to return after a tummy tuck.

Complicated: After a tummy tuck part of your skin will stay numb permanently. This is usually the part in the lower central portion of your tummy and has to do with the way the operation is performed. There will be some recovery of feeling in this area up to about a year, then it will stay that way permanently.

Months/Years: The loss of skin sensation is normal after tummy tuck surgery. The return of sensation may take several months and even years to occur.
