A mommy makeover is more than just wearing lipstick and switching your Allbirds for heels. Many women have had their legs and stomachs transformed and their walker included in their transformation. While some may have worn compression girdles, or walked with loose skin on Instagram, the mommy makeover has grown to be more than a fashion statement. A mommy Makeover can involve a variety of cosmetic procedures including the removal of stretch marks and the regaining of skin tone.
Procedures
The mommy makeover will have a different recovery process depending on what was done. The recovery process may take as much as two weeks. After the procedure, patients will experience swelling, soreness, or bruising. Patients may experience fatigue, restricted activity, and soreness after the procedure. During this period, patients should avoid driving and routine tasks. During recovery, a pain medication may be prescribed by the surgeon. These medications can be used to relieve pain and discomfort.
Recovery time
The length of recovery after a mommy makeover will depend on the extent of her procedure, her general health, and how well she follows the postoperative instructions. On average, patients can return to normal activities two to four weeks after surgery. Most swelling post-surgery should have cleared by this time. Once the swelling has reduced, light activities are permitted. After six weeks of recovery, strenuous exercise is recommended. For a full recovery, patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities for several week.
Risques
A mommy makeover can bring many benefits but it also has its risks. Patients must be sure they're done having children before opting for this procedure. Women who become pregnant after undergoing a Mommy Makeover risk reversing the results. It is important to ask all questions prior to undergoing any surgery. Doctors shouldn't rush you. You can also get advice from them regarding post-operative care.
