I have a 1.5 year old baby who weighs about 25lbs. I was wondering if I will need to wait 6 weeks before I am able to pick her up. What is the normal recommendation?

Answer: Mommy makeover recovery Usually you want to wait 4-6 weeks before lifting 25 pounds after abdominal surgery. This is a general time frame. Your surgeon will best be able to advise you based on the details of your surgery and how you progress through recovery.

Answer: Lifting after a mommy makeover Usually I suggest waiting 4-6 weeks after surgery to avoid damaging muscle repair. Sometimes I don't do a muscle repair, so you would need to ask your surgeon. Usually this is the case. There are ways to lift with less strain on the abdominal muscles, but usually it is safer to avoid lifting at all, especially the kids as they don't hold still and move in unpredictable ways.
