Your mommy makeover will be customized based on:
The first week after surgery is the most intensive recovery period. You’ll wake up wearing compression garments and surgical dressings designed to minimize swelling and support your healing tissues. Pain and discomfort are normal and well-managed with prescribed medications. Most patients describe the sensation as tightness and soreness rather than sharp pain.
You’ll need to arrange for someone to drive you home and stay with you for at least the first 24-48 hours. Rest is crucial during this period, and you should plan to sleep in a reclining position to reduce swelling and tension on your incisions. Light walking is encouraged from the first day to promote circulation and prevent blood clots, but all other activities should be minimal.
As you enter the second and third weeks, you’ll notice gradual improvements in your comfort level and mobility. Swelling and bruising will begin to subside, and you may start to see early glimpses of your results. Most patients can return to light desk work after 1-2 weeks, though this varies depending on the procedures performed and individual healing rates.
During this phase, you’ll have several follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress. Sutures may be removed, and your compression garments may be adjusted or changed. You can gradually increase your activity level as directed by your surgeon, but heavy lifting and strenuous exercise remain prohibited.
The extended recovery phase involves the gradual return to normal activities and the continued evolution of your results. Most patients can return to full work duties and light exercise by 4-6 weeks post-surgery. However, high-impact activities, heavy lifting, and abdominal exercises typically remain restricted until 6-8 weeks post-operatively.
Swelling continues to diminish during this period, and your scars begin to mature and fade. Many patients benefit from scar therapy treatments, including silicone sheets, massage, and topical treatments to optimize healing and minimize scar visibility.
By three to six months post-surgery, you’ll see your final results beginning to emerge. Swelling has largely resolved, scars continue to fade, and your new contours are fully apparent. Many patients find that their results continue to improve for up to a year as tissues settle and scars mature.
Like all surgical procedures, mommy makeover surgery carries certain risks that must be carefully considered. Common risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, and anesthesia-related complications. More specific risks may include seroma (fluid accumulation), hematoma (blood collection), delayed healing, and asymmetry.
The risk of complications increases with the complexity and duration of surgery, which is why proper patient selection and surgical planning are crucial. At Linia Clinic, we minimize risks through comprehensive pre-operative assessment, meticulous surgical technique, and careful post-operative monitoring.
Some patients may require revision surgery to optimize their results or address complications. While most patients are very satisfied with their outcomes, it’s important to understand that perfection cannot be guaranteed, and individual healing varies significantly.
