Q: How many days will I have to stay in Budapest after a tummy tuck?

A: The minimum stay in Budapest after having tummy tuck surgery is five days after surgery.

Q: Can I leave earlier than five days after surgery?

A: Unfortunately you cannot leave earlier because, even though you can leave the hospital after two days, you need to be monitored. It would also not be safe for you to fly earlier than five days after surgery.

Q: Are all the surgeons at the clinic fully qualified?

A: All the surgeons at the clinic are fully qualified plastic surgeons. In Hungary a general surgeon by law needs to train for an additional three years in order to become a plastic surgeon.

Q: How long in advance do I have to book a surgery appointment?

A: We are normally fully booked approximately one month ahead of time so if you are thinking of a certain date we suggest you book about one month in advance.

Q: When can I go back to work and start exercising after a tummy tuck?

A: If you don’t have a physically strenuous job you can go back to work ten days after surgery. You can start gentle exercise 3 – 4 weeks after surgery, strenuous exercise has to wait approximately two months after surgery.

Q: Can I have the medical tests done in Budapest?

A: In order to avoid disappointment, the medical tests should be performed by your GP, approximately 3 weeks before surgery. If you had the tests here in Budapest and there were problems, you might not have the surgery. So it’s better to be safe!
