You : You can climb stairs after a tummy tuck of any kind. Early on you may need to take one step at a time but it should not "break" any thing. Be as comfortable as you can with your recovery but stairs will not hurt you. Best wishes dr. Peterson.

You : You should be able to walk a flight of stairs even after a full tummy tuck and definitely after a mini. Good luck from nyc. For more info visit www.Drgrossman.Com.

Yes: Yes, you should be able to climb stairs after the operation. Plan on having help ( preferably on each side of you) and going slow as you do so. Best wishes.

Yes: Get help when climbing the stairs - you hold the handrail, and your helper supports you on the other side. Take one step at a time. Go slowly.
