Moms often think of mommy makeovers as more than wearing red lipstick or swapping out their Allbirds with heels. Many women have had the tummies and legs of their children transformed. Sometimes even their walker has been part of this transformation. Others may have worn compression socks and walked with sloppy skin. But a mommy-makeover has been more than an Instagram trend. A mommy-makeover can include everything from removing stretchmarks to regaining skin tone.
Procedures
The process used to do a mommy makeover varies. It can take anywhere from one to two weeks for recovery. After the procedure, patients might experience swelling, bruising and soreness. They may also experience fatigue and restricted activity. During this period, patients should avoid driving and routine tasks. The surgeon may prescribe pain medication during recovery. Several people choose to take these medications to help with pain and discomfort.
Recovery time
The amount of surgery performed, patient's general health and compliance with postoperative instructions will all affect recovery times. Two to four weeks from surgery, patients can resume their daily activities. Most of the swelling after surgery should have subsided by this time. Once swelling has decreased, you can resume light activity. After six weeks, strenuous activities are allowed. For the safety and complete healing process, patients should not engage in strenuous activities during the first few weeks.
Risques
A mommy makeover can bring many benefits but it also has its risks. Before having this procedure, patients need to be certain that they are done with children. Mommy Makeovers may result in women getting pregnant. Before undergoing surgery, it is important to ask questions and not be pressured by doctors. They may be able to give you advice about post-operative treatment.
