I'm heading to Lithuania in 3 weeks for a mommy makeover and I'm very anxious. What's the recovery time?

Thank you for your question.  Following a mommy makeover most people can return to normal work functions after seven to ten days.  However, you may still have drains that will need to be dealt with.  We tell all of our patients that the full recovery will take approximately three months.  We discourage cosmetic surgical tourism if the patient is not going to remain in the area for at least two weeks post-operatively.  

Use caution when traveling far for surgery.  Recovery from these procedures actually takes several months.  Most patients do very well, but they are followed closely by their surgeon during recovery so that any issues can be addressed early.  If you are planning to travel regardless, I recommend speaking to your surgeon to get an opinion for how long it is recommended that you stay in the area.  Surgical time varies based on surgeon's technique and procedures performed.
