5'4" 125lb eat clean and exercised regularly pre-surgery. Recovery going well. Went 2 work after 2 weeks, desk job. Nearly standing straight-until noon, then hunched. Can't work more than 4-6hrs w/o back pain/swelling. I also started light housework- vacuum, dishes, garbage, etc. Started sleeping on side. Can't sleep through night still & have pain now in upper back-spine/right shoulder blade & chest muscle same side. Taking 800mg Advil & Valium at night. Only takes edge off pain-Is this normal?

Answer: Post op pain I think the problem may be that you are overdoing it and your body is reacting accordingly. Try scaling things back a bit -- being very careful not to lift anything over 5 lbs. Resting a lot. Eating well. Drinking lots of water. Things should improve. Definitely share you concerns with your surgeon. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: Mommy Makeover Recovery Thank you for your question regarding recovery from a 'Mommy Makeover'. Your symptoms are completely normal for 3 weeks post-op. Following surgery, you will be weaker than you were before. It will take some time to regain your strength and it is important not to overdo it. If you are having symptoms, I think you should consider working less and cutting back on the house chores. You should not be lifting anything over 10 pounds for the first 3-4 weeks. Please follow up with your plastic surgeon and adhere to his restrictions. Your results look good so far!

Answer: Convalescence after mommy makeover vary from patient to patient. Remember that she had a sizable amount of surgery and three weeks is fairly early into the healing regimen. You will not to damage to the operation by the activities that you are presently engaged in but recovery from the activities of the day will be much more difficult for a while.
