I have read many posts where ladies were not prepared for the emotions they experienced through the healing processes. I'm confident there is no way to avoid these emotions but is there anything I can do to prepare myself emotionally for the recovery process? What can I expect to experience mentally and emotionally?

Answer: Preparing for a Mommy Makeover Procedure Its best to consult with your board-certified Plastic Surgeon beforehand. She or he will make suggestions according to your procedure and medical records in addition to discussing your pre-op preparations. Also, such may be provided for you with your pre-op material and prescriptions in time for your recovery period. You will learn more about preparing at your pre-op.

Answer: Is there any way to help prepare myself mentally and emotionally for the Mommy Makeover recovery process? Thank you for your question. It would be quite unnatural to not have some anxiety about an impending surgery, but i applaud you for reaching out for reassurance. Be confidant that you have made the right decision for you and you alone. Entering surgery with a positive mindset will make the recovery that much easier. The majority of patients do quite well with a mommy makeover, and if there were questions about your ability to have the surgery performed, your physician would have discussed these with you. There is a natural "blue" period after surgery due to the pain and activity restrictions placed on you and this may remain for the first 2-3 weeks after surgery. After this period most patients start to feel better as they start to see their surgical results and their comfort improves. It's hard to consider, but try and remain at ease and enjoy the process.
