For many moms, a mommy makeover means more than wearing red lipstick and swapping your Allbirds for heels. Many women have had their legs and stomachs changed, and even their walker. While others may have worn compression girdles or walked with loose skin in the past, a mommy makeover is now more popular than just 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. The recovery process can be as long as one to two weeks. After the procedure, patients may experience swelling, soreness, and bruising. Patients may feel fatigued and restricted from doing certain activities. Patients should refrain from driving or performing routine tasks during this time. The surgeon may prescribe pain medication during recovery. Many people take these medications to ease their 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. Patients can resume normal activities within two to four weeks of surgery. Most of the swelling after surgery should have subsided by this time. After the swelling has subsided, light activities can be resumed. Strenuous activity should resume after six weeks. To ensure a complete and safe recovery, patients should refrain from strenuous activity for several weeks.
Risks
A mommy makeover has many benefits, but there are some risks as well. Patients must be sure they're done having children before opting for this procedure. Mommy Makeovers are not recommended for women who have become pregnant. Ask questions before you undergo surgery. Doctors should not rush you. They can also give you advice regarding post-operative care.
Benefits
A Mommy Makeover is a wonderful option for women who are unhappy about the look of their postpartum bodies. Although childbirth is an amazing gift, it can have long-lasting effects on women’s bodies.
