Mommy makeover — get back to your old shape

Are you a full-time mom? Extra pounds have lingered since pregnancy, and your abdominal muscles haven’t gotten back into shape? Are you helping your kids with homework and taking care of the house? Don’t have time to focus on yourself? With help comes mommy makeover treatment, which will allow you to achieve the best effect in a short time.

Mommy Makeover is a well-known term for a personalized set of medical and gynecological aesthetic treatments prepared to help a woman improve her figure after pregnancy.

Mommy Makeover can help moms feel better, more comfortable and more confident. Each patient has personal goals for her makeover, which often include: breast lift or augmentation, abdominal plastic surgery, liposuction, and labia majora correction.

But are you worried that the recovery time will hurt your family, limiting your ability to help around the house?

In reality, the recovery time after a mommy makeover is relatively short. It all depends on how invasive or extensive the procedures will be.

How long does it take to recover from a mommy makeover?

Recovery can vary depending on the body parts considered during the surgery performed. Abdominoplasty, breast lift/augmentation and liposuction are the most common procedures performed during a mommy makeover. If you have these surgeries performed, the recovery process will be as follows:

After three weeks, the bruising will begin to subside. The swelling will also decrease and you will begin to feel better. After six weeks, the scars will begin to turn red. This is not a cause for concern, however, as it is a natural healing process. After 8 weeks, you should be back to full strength.

It is important to remember that every body responds differently to surgery. So recovery from a mommy makeover will vary from patient to patient. Each person’s experience with swelling and bruising may be slightly different. Therefore, these are general guidelines for what to expect during recovery. However, for most people in good health, only a few to several weeks are needed.

Your plastic surgeon will be able to provide specific recovery recommendations and instructions based on your personal mommy makeover needs.

What activities can be performed during regeneration?

While all moms are superheroes, make sure you don’t go back to your daily routine too soon. Take care of yourself and give your body the time it needs to recover. For the first few weeks, you will need extra help around the house to take care of the kids or lift heavy things.

You need to watch for signs that your body is ready for intense activity. It is usually not recommended before six weeks after surgery. However, you can start lighter activity, such as walking or riding a stationary bike, after a week or two.

Although moderate physical activity can be helpful in healing, make sure you don’t overdo it. Putting extra stress on your body before it’s ready will do more harm than good and cause you to rest longer than you originally needed.
