Mommy Makeover Recovery Time

While childbirth can be a very exciting time in a woman’s life, it can also take a toll on her body. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your body following childbirth and wish to restore your pre-baby figure, a mommy makeover may be able to help. Read on to learn more about this procedure and what to expect during recovery.

What is a Mommy Makeover?

Women may experience many changes in their bodies post-pregnancy. A mommy makeover includes a number of procedures to restore a woman’s pre-baby form. These procedures may include a breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction.

If you are considering a mommy makeover it is important that you are finished having children, as future pregnancy can negatively affect the surgical outcome.

The Recovery Period

Following your mommy makeover surgery, you will be wearing gauze or bandages over your incisions. Supportive garments will also need to be worn to help support your new body contours and reduce swelling. Because the mommy makeover procedure is highly individualized, overall recovery will differ from patient to patient. However, generally, the more procedures you have done the longer your recovery time may be.

Healing will continue for several weeks, and as swelling subsides, you will be able to see your new body contours. It is important that you follow Joseph T Cruise, MD’s post-op instructions to ensure a safe and quick recovery.
