Recovery After
Mommy Makeover
Healing from a Mommy Makeover is a gradual process. Below is a general guide for what to expect, but your surgeon will tailor recovery instructions to your procedure plan.
Expect swelling, bruising, and moderate discomfort.
Prescription pain medication and antibiotics are typically provided.
Drain tubes may be in place depending on procedures (especially after abdominoplasty).
You’ll need assistance moving around and completing basic tasks.
It's essential to rest, stay hydrated, and begin gentle walking to promote circulation.
You’ll likely still be resting at home, taking short walks, and avoiding stairs or lifting.
Swelling and bruising may increase before improving.
Compression garments will be worn continuously (especially after liposuction or tummy tuck).
Sutures or drains may be removed later in the week, depending on the procedure.
Most patients feel significantly better and can resume light daily activities.
Many return to desk jobs after 2 weeks, but lifting (including children) is still restricted.
Bruising begins to fade; swelling gradually reduces.
Light stretching and walking are encouraged, but no strenuous exercise yet.
Continued improvement in energy levels and appearance.
Most restrictions are lifted after your surgeon clears you.
Exercise can usually resume by week 6, starting slowly.
Results begin to become more visible as swelling subsides.
Final results are typically seen by 3–6 months.
Scars will continue to fade and flatten over 12+ months with proper care (silicone gels, SPF).
Continued support garments may be recommended depending on your procedure.
Follow all post-op instructions closely.
Avoid smoking and alcohol, as they delay healing.
Sleep in an inclined position if advised (especially after abdominoplasty).
Have help with childcare, cooking, and driving for at least 1–2 weeks.
Stay in close communication with your surgeon about concerns or healing milestones.
