I'm 3 weeks post op and healing wonderfully, no complications and issue free. LOVE my results. My only real "issue" is the swelling. I know the swelling is to be expected. My question, how long will Swell Hell last? I currently am unable to fit into any of my jeans/pants. I look pregnant! Is there a peak time when the swelling is at it's worst? Not in time of day, but in the healing process. Like week 3-6 post op is at it's worst. Thank you!
Answer: Mommy Makeover and Swelling You are still very early in your recovery. There isn't a set amount of time for the swelling to completely resolve, every patient is different. My patients are to wait 6 full weeks before starting an exercise program. If you do too much too soon, you will get swelling, also avoid salt and when you are resting have your feet elevated. Try to be patient, and get good rest. Good luck!

CONTACT NOW Answer: How long does mommy makeover swelling last? Swelling is highly variable depending upon the operations performed, the magnitude of each of those, in physiologic variables in the patient. Usually by 6 to 8 weeks 75% of swelling is resolved. The final 25% may take six months to a year.

Answer: How long does surgical swelling last, Thanks for your question. Swelling is a natural part of the healing process after surgery. For most procedures, I instruct my patients that 90-95% of surgical swelling will resolve by 6 weeks or so. The last 5--10% can take 3 months or even longer. In body contouring procedures this may barely be noticeable. In nose reshaping surgery, the last bit of swelling can still appear to be significant.

Answer: Swelling after mommy makeover I advise my patients to give it a good 6 months (and sometimes even a year) to allow all of the swelling to resolve after a tummy tuck. Having said that, you will notice changes every week early on and then the changes will be more subtle after 3-4 months. Continue wearing your compression garment and just give your body time to heal. Best of luck for great results!!

Answer: How long does Mommy Makeover swelling last? Congratulations on having undergone the mommy makeover surgery. Longer-term swelling after tummy tuck surgery is not uncommon; swelling may persist for many months and even up to one year after the procedure is performed. Often, patients will report that the swelling increases as their activity level increases and gets worse later on in the day. Sometimes, the use of compressive garments may be helpful to control the edema.
