Hi I'm getting a mummy make over (breast lift, tummy tuck, lipo to flanks, mons and possibly back bra line too. I'm a single mum of 2 young kids aged 3 and 6. How long will I be unable to do my regular mummy stuff for, or how long will I need to stay in bed realistically? I'm also self employed as a hairdresser, is 3 weeks off enough? Will having kids minded for my 1st day days be enough? Thanks!

Answer: Recovery time for mommy make over Thank you for your question. For my patient having a mommy makeover, I recommend that they take 10 to 14 days off of work, three weeks off of cardio at the gym, and six weeks off of weight training and yoga exercises. It is best to have help with the kids and around the house for the first week after surgery. By the second when you should be able to be more independent around the house and with your children. I hope this helps!

Answer: Mommy Makeover Recovery You are never really confined to bed (and we certainly wouldn't want you developing blood clots from not moving around!) 3 weeks of taking it easy after the procedures you are having done should work well with a gradual return to your normal responsibilities, but I generally have my patients avoid any heavy exertional activities or exercise for another 3-6 weeks which may vary depending on how they are healing. Precise guidelines and timelines are obviously at the discretion of your operating surgeon.

Answer: Mommy makeover Hello! Thanks for your question. While you will not necessarily need to “stay in bed” for very long, your activity levels will be limited for a few weeks. I would recommend arranging for help with childcare for one to two weeks, after which you will be able to do most daily activities like running errands and preparing meals on your own. However, you will need to avoid lifting your children until your surgeon clears you to do so (this could be six to eight weeks). You will also need to be careful around your children during this time if they are energetic and may accidentally bump your breast or abdomen area.

Answer: Mommy Makeover Recovery You should plan on having help for the first week or two for your children. Avoid any heavy lifting for 6 weeks.You should get plenty of rest however you should also be up and walking around often to prevent blood clots. Three weeks off work should be enough time. Good luck.
