I'm 3 1/2 weeks post op. I've been walking 1 mile the last 5 days (cleared by my dr) and I've been doing dishes, cooking, sweeping and laundry. I feel fine. I haven't needed the pain meds since day 5. Can I go ahead and vacuum now too? And clean my bathtub? I can't stand how gross it is!

Answer: Mommy Makeover Postop Restrictions I usually recommend no heavy lifting or cardio workouts for at least one month after Mommy Makeover surgery. It does depend on exactly what surgery was done, so you should consult with your surgeon. Good luck!

Answer: Mommy Makeover - Post Op Activity? Thank you for your question. Most patients are cleared to perform lifting > 10 pounds 4 - 6 weeks following mommy makeover surgery. You may return to walking and light lifting sooner, but would not perform any strenuous activity without clearance from your surgeon. It is best to have an in-person follow up examination for recommendations regarding what you should and should not be doing. Good luck with your recovery.
