👑 A Mommy Makeover recovery typically involves a period of several weeks to several months, with varying levels of discomfort and physical limitations. The initial days and weeks are focused on pain management, rest, and avoiding heavy lifting, while the following weeks see a gradual return to normal activities.
Initial Days (First Week):
* Pain and Discomfort:
Expect pain and discomfort, particularly from the tummy tuck and liposuction components, which can be managed with pain medication.
* Swelling and Bruising:
Swelling and bruising are common, and compression garments can help manage them.
* Rest and Limited Activity:
Rest is crucial, and you’ll likely need help with childcare and household tasks.
* Follow-up Appointment:
A follow-up with your surgeon will likely be scheduled within the first week to check on incisions and bandages. And thereafter usually once to twice a week for the first 6 weeks after your procedure.
Subsequent Weeks:
* Gradual Return to Activity:
As pain subsides, you can gradually increase your physical activity, but avoid strenuous exercise.
* Swelling Reduction:
Swelling will gradually decrease over several weeks, with some residual swelling potentially lasting up to six months.
* Scarring:
Scars will fade and soften over time, and your surgeon will provide guidance on their care.
* Full Recovery:
The full recovery process, including the final results, can take several months or even up to a year.
