I am almost 5w post-op from full TT, flank lipo, BA lift w/augmentation. Healing has been going great. Incisions are all closed and just minor swelling in my lower abdomen. I do not want to buy new clothes until my figure is at it’s final result but on top of losing 8 lbs post-op, I am swimming in my old clothes. When can I expect my body to be at its final shape? Thanks.

Answer: Recovery after MMO Considering magnitude of surgery done you seem to be doing relay well. We usually say to our patients undergoing such a surgery that first close to real results are shown between 3-6 months after surgery. Subtle swelling and shape changes due to it, very frequently related to your diet, will camouflage real result for a long time. Stable result is expected to be seen 1 year after most surgeries. Good luck.

Answer: When will I see final results from my Mommy Makeover? Great question but really something you should be asking the Plastic Surgeon who performed your surgery. Depending upon the type of procedures performed and to what extent, swelling can last a few weeks to a few months. Generally, long-term results are seen around 6-8 months following this procedure but, again, this can vary. I would consult with your surgeon and make sure that you are emphasizing a clean diet to help you heal as effectively and as optimally as possible. What you eat really does make a difference!I hope that helps and wish you the very best!-Gregory A Buford MD FACSBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author
