Mommy makeover recovery. Will I be okay to go abroad and go on a waterslide 7 weeks after surgery?

While recovery times can vary from person to person, a Mommy Makeover typically involves multiple procedures like breast augmentation, tummy tuck, and liposuction, which can have different recovery timelines. Generally, after 7 weeks, many individuals start feeling more comfortable and have healed sufficiently.

However, it's crucial to consult with your surgeon before making plans. Waterslides might involve physical activity, water pressure, and potential impacts on the body that could be risky during the initial recovery phase. Additionally, flying after surgery, especially if it's an extended flight, might pose some risks due to the possibility of blood clots.

We can give you the best advice tailored to your specific case. We'll evaluate your healing progress, the extent of your procedures, and whether it's safe for you to engage in activities like going on a waterslide. Your health and safety should always be the top priority during recovery.

The minimum recommendation for travel after a mummy makeover is about 6 weeks. You will still be in the recovery phase and may not be fully able to enjoy the waterslides. These procedures may sometimes have areas that take longer to heal and so if all goes well then 6 weeks should be fine but should any areas need longer to heal then this may be ambitious.

I don't suggest a waterslide 7 weeks after surgery. I recommend waiting at least three months before you allow such forces to be applied to your body. You'll want to have the best recovery and result possible so it is worth the wait. Likewise, trips abroad are a chance to have a lot of fun, and so I don't advise travelling until you can maximize your holiday. Keep the two separate by about three months.
