Want Faster Recovery After a Mommy Makeover? Do This

Posted on October 20th, 2022 by Dr. William Franckle

With nearly 385,0000 being born each day, according to the UN, having a child is a seminal moment in any woman’s lifetime. But unfortunately, the process can affect body shape due to pregnancy, delivery, and breastfeeding.

Luckily, there’s always a solution for mommies who want to take back their body shape — a series of cosmetic procedures collectively known as a “mommy makeover.”

Mommy makeovers can often take weeks to recover. However, there’re always secrets to a healthy and speedy recovery.

Wondering how? Here’s what you need to do.

Get Help and Rest

Getting assistance after a mommy makeover surgery is crucial to your recovery. You’re likely to experience challenges completing daily tasks, from getting dressed to getting out of bed.

While recovering, you should focus on having more rest hours and let your caregiver handle the daily chores around the house. This reduces the risks of opening incisions that would otherwise delay your recovery.

Avoid Lifting Heavy Objects

As with other surgeries, lifting heavy objects is highly discouraged after a mommy makeover. Heavy lifting increases the risk of tearing the sutures used to close the incisions, which could lead to infection and delay the healing process.

Schedule for Nonstrenuous Activities

To avoid complications, getting on your feet and moving your body when healing is a must. However, it should be done in moderation to avoid straining the parts of your body that you were operated on.

For instance, if you’ve had a tummy tuck surgery, brisk walking after your initial recovery can help prevent swelling and the formation of blood clots.

Observe Doctor’s Instructions

After your surgery, your plastic surgeon will advise you on the dos and don’ts of post-op care.

Following these instructions will ensure that you are healing according to their standard expectations, in addition to reducing the possibility of complications.
