For many moms, a mommy makeover means more than wearing red lipstick and swapping your Allbirds for heels. Many women have seen their legs and stomachs transform, and even their walkers have been transformed. Some women may have worn compression sleeves and walked in loose skin. However, mommy makeovers are more than an Instagram fashion trend. A mommy makeover can include a whole range of cosmetic procedures, including removing stretch marks and regaining skin tone.
Procedures
The type of mommy makeover determines how long it takes to recover. It can take anywhere from one to two weeks for recovery. Patients will experience bruising, soreness, and swelling after the procedure. Patients may feel fatigued and restricted from doing certain activities. Patients are advised to avoid driving and performing repetitive tasks during this time. A surgeon might prescribe pain medication to help with recovery. Many people take these medications to ease their pain and discomfort.
Recovery time
The amount of surgery performed, patient's general health and compliance with postoperative instructions will all affect recovery times. On average, patients can return to normal activities two to four weeks after surgery. Most post-operative swelling should be gone by this point. Once swelling has decreased, you can resume light activity. After six weeks, strenuous activities are allowed. To ensure a complete and safe recovery, patients should refrain from strenuous activity for several weeks.
Risques
A mommy makeover can bring many benefits but it also has its risks. Before going through with this procedure, it is important that patients aren't pregnant. Mommy Makeovers may result in women getting pregnant. It's important that you ask questions before having surgery. Your doctor should never rush you. They can also give you advice regarding post-operative care.
Benefits
Mommy Makeovers are a great option for mothers who are unhappy with their postpartum body. Although childbirth can be an incredible gift, the long-lasting effects it has on women’s bodies can be devastating. Modern cosmetic procedures allow moms to regain their prebaby bodies quickly and easily.
