A mommy makeover is not a singular procedure. It is a series of procedures that are meant to restore your body to the natural beauty you enjoyed before pregnancy. Depending on your personalized requirements, your plastic surgeon may suggest a combination of the following procedures:

Recovery times for the individual surgeries that made up your mommy makeover are all different. You should take care in following the post-care instructions provided by Naples Plastic Surgery.

• Liposuction – Your surgeon will discuss how long it should be before you are able to return to normal activity. Typically total recovery only takes around a month but can last longer depending on the extent of the liposuction.
• Tummy Tuck – This procedure typically requires a few days of bed rest with minimal activity and a compression garment to reduce swelling. Normal activity becomes possible again after a few weeks.
• Breast Lift – Following this procedure you will need to wear compression garments and will be advised about the symptoms and pain you may feel. The recovery time for a breast lift varies from person to person but it typically only takes around a week to return to light activity, like going to work. It can take up to several weeks to return to all regular activity.
• Breast Reduction – Depending upon each patient’s circumstances, your surgeon will provide you with a general idea about when you can perform various activities over the recovery time period. Full range of motion should return within 2 months.
• Breast Augmentation – Follow patient care instructions as provided by Dr. Gardner or Dr. Baccaro. It will be important to walk around frequently to minimize the risk of blood clots. Typically it takes a month to recover from breast augmentation and return to regular activity.

Following patient care and recovery instructions provided by your surgeon are incredibly important for every single procedure and should be followed explicitly.
