Answer: Mommy makeover recovery I like to have my mommy makeover patients walking one hour after surgery. It significantly diminishes the risk of a blood clot. It is important to lean over for the first week to minimize tension on the lower abdominal incision. Patients may ambulate by themselves, but it is wise to have another person to assist the patient for the first 24 hours.

Answer: Will I be able to stand up and walk to get myself to the bathroom? I would suggest that you plan on having help full-time for the first few days after tummy tuck surgery; best not to be left alone. You will find that you need help going from the lying to standing position. Best not to underestimate the significant recovery associated with mommy makeover procedures. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

Answer: Assistance After a Mommy Makeover The first 24 hours are the most critical as you may still be feeling the affects of the anesthesia and can be quite dizzy. After that, it would be helpful if you have help for 2 or 3 days. There are things you can do ahead to make things easier for yourself, such as prepare and freeze meals, make sure you have clothing that is easy to get in and out of, opening in the front. Be sure you have someone lined up to take you to your post operative appointment, you should not be driving while on pain medication! Good luck.
