Recovery after Mommy Makeover

John Whitt, MD answers: Recovery time for Breast Lift and augmentation with Tummy Tuck?

I am considering a Breast Lift (and augmentation) and a Tummy Tuck. I am very active and in good overall shape. I have 2 children one is 3 and one is 5 months .

My husband will be home with me for two weeks after the surgery. Will I be able to lift my baby if I rest up for the 2 weeks or should I seek additional support?

I usually advise my patients undergoing a mommy makeover or either procedure independently to avoid any lifting for 3-4 weeks. In you situation, it would depend somewhat on your 5 mo-old's weight. You can do some things to help like putting siderails down rather than lifting over them. This question that should be discussed with your surgeon.
