What is the recovery like after a mommy makeover?
Recovery from a Mommy Makeover typically involves several weeks of healing. Patients can expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with pain medication. Following post-operative instructions is crucial, including avoiding strenuous activities and wearing compression garments. Most individuals can resume light activities after a week or two, but full recovery may take several months. The timeline varies depending on the specific procedures performed.
What are the risks involved with a mommy makeover?
