Answer: Avoiding depression after MM. After surgery, there is always a period where you would be sore, activity would be somewhat limited and you wouldn't feel quite like yourself. I feel the best way to avoid having this effect you adversely is to have a frank discussion with your surgeon as exactly what to expect from your surgery, ie what will be made better, the expected contour, etc, and the time frame for recovery, so you will know what to expect and when you can begin returning to your normal daily activities. If you are well prepared you are likely to avoid feeling depressed during your recovery. In addition, plan on having multiple friends and family around for support and have a plan to keep yourself busy to keep your mind off things in the early going. Best wishes.
