Mommy makeover Mostly asking so I have a plan for when I will have to be home alone intermittently for the first few days. Healthy 45 yo having multiple proceedures- tt, ba with lift, lipo to flanks and back rolls above waist.
Answer: After mommy makeover, will I be able to stand up and walk to the bathroom? It is ideal to have help at home for the first few days after surgery, especially the first 24-48 hours. However, you should be able to stand and walk to the bathroom. Some patients find that being slightly bent at the waist is more comfortable and others avoid stairs. Good luck and be safe.

Answer: You Will Be Mobile, With Help After your mommy makeover you should certainly be up and moving around after surgery. Most often, I keep my patients overnight with a private duty nurse to care for and mobilize my patients having abdominoplasties. After going home the next day, my patients are up and about on their feet. But it is often helpful to have someone home with you that first full day after surgery.

Answer: Will I be able to stand up and walk to get myself to the bathroom? You should be moving around to prevent blood clots after surgery. You should have some help in the first week after surgery. These procedures can be performed in combination in healthy patients by a board certified plastic surgeon who is an expert in all procedures.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

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.
