Dear chrismeme,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD

chrismeme. Congratulations on your recent surgery. Any further procedures performed after your primary surgery should be discussed with your plastic surgeon. Generally speaking I would wait at least 2 to 3 months before undergoing any further procedures, invasive or not. Good luck.

A MM typically includes a TT, breast augmentation or breast lift, and liposuction.  It's unlikely that any two MM patients will recover at the same pace.  Much depends upon the health of the patient prior to surgery, and the level of physical activity and lifting following surgery. Total recovery may take six months.  Tumescent liposuction in the right hands will produce a more significant result.Kenneth Hughes, MD, ABPS Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

This question is best answered by your surgeon as he/she is most familiar with the details of your surgery and how you've been progressing through recovery.  Best wishes!
