Many moms view a mommy's makeover as more that just changing your Allbirds for heels and applying red lipstick. Many women have seen their legs and stomachs transform, and even their walkers have been transformed. Others may have used compression girdles and walked with loose skin, but a mommy makeover has become more than an Instagram trend. A mommy makeover may include many cosmetic procedures such as removing stretch marks or restoring skin tone.
Procedures
The mommy makeover will have a different recovery process depending on what was done. It may take between one and two weeks to recover. After the procedure, patients may experience swelling, soreness, and bruising. Patients may feel fatigued and restricted from doing certain activities. Patients should not drive or perform routine tasks during this period. During recovery, a pain medication may be prescribed by the surgeon. Several people choose to take these medications to help with pain and discomfort.
Time to recover
The amount of the mommy makeover and patient's overall health will determine the recovery process. It also depends on how strict the patient follows the instructions. Two to four weeks is the average time patients can resume their normal activities after surgery. Most of the post-operative swelling should subside by this stage. Once swelling has decreased, you can resume light activity. After six weeks, strenuous activities are allowed. For a full recovery, patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities for several week.
Risques
Although mommy makeovers can have many benefits there are also potential dangers. Before going through with this procedure, it is important that patients aren't pregnant. The Mommy Makeover can lead to a woman becoming pregnant. It is important to ask all questions prior to undergoing any surgery. Doctors shouldn't rush you. You can also get advice from them regarding post-operative care.
