I had a MM 5 weeks ago, I try to focus on the positive outcomes, on how healthy I am but I can avoid daily to feel regrets, Is it normal? should I see a psychologist? :(
Answer: Mommy Makeover Recovery Hang in there! As long as the shape and feel are improving week to week, however slowly, there is still hope for the final outcome. Ask you plastic surgeon if there are any compression garments, stretches or massaging exercises that can help speed your recovery.

Answer: Is it normal to have regrets after cosmetic surgery? Hello,Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon for some people to have a hard time adjusting emotionally and mentally after cosmetic surgery. It can be a big life/image change and also a very big, expensive decision to make for many people. Usually these feelings pass and if you are realistic and have good results you will be able to enjoy your new body soon. If you are having trouble adjusting, please tell your Plastic Surgeon and review your reasons for doing this as well as pre photos. It cannot hurt to seek professional help with a Psychologist/Psychiatrist and you shouldn't ever hesitate to seek help when you need it. Take care,

Answer: Buyers remorse after elective cosmetic surgery. The vast majority of patients who undergo elective aesthetic surgery are delighted with the result. In the short term however buyers remorse is fairly common. Often times this is due to the appearance during the healing phase that can be intimidating but will improve as time passes. Your plastic surgeon should help you navigate through these psychologically difficult times.

Answer: Is it normal to have regrets after cosmetic surgery? Yes, significant “emotional” swings are quite commonly encountered after all types of elective surgery. In my experience, patients who have a history of depression may be more prone to such emotional “ups and downs”. I would suggest that you do your best to occupy your mind with activities that you enjoy. For example, for our patients experiencing these types of post operative “sadness”, I suggest they walk outdoors (fresh air), movies, books they enjoy, family/friends support… Let your plastic surgeon and/or your "mental health professional” know if you do not see/feel improvements. Best wishes.
