10 days should be fine.

As everything, there’s a spectum of possibilities in the recovery for this surgery. There are many varying techniques in performing a full abdominoplasty that your ABPS Board Certified Plastic Surgeon will be familiar with.  If you discuss return to work at this deadline, I believe that it will in fact help your recovery since you are so motivated to get out of bed and mover around.  A technique of internal suturing can help get your drains out sooner than usual (typically a week).

Even if you go back to work with your drains, depending on what you do at your work, it is achieveable. Your recovery will depend greatly on your anatomy, your stamina, tolerance and the actual operation performed. The plan you’ve made thus far is reasonable.

They’re really totally different options. Thermage can help if there’s a minimal amount of tightening expected, such as lower lids maybe. Sometimes the pre and postop photos on some of the new technologies out there are really difficult to reproduce. If you’ve seen Thermage results on an abdomen, I’d be pretty hesitant to expect much. It just has been really underpowered in those areas.

If your ABPS board certified plastic surgeon has told you that you are a candidate for a tummy tuck, then you should consider that and not thermage. There are different variations in tummy tuck (such as mini tucks or float abdominoplasties) for those that have very little extra skin. Those may be more worth your while to look into with more detail.
