What comfortable clothing can I wear after my mommy makeover and for when I go out?

Good morning,Regarding post operative clothing there are two things to consider - the garments provided by your surgeon and the clothes you choose to wear.Typically after your Mommy Makeover you will be provided with a breast stabilizing bra and an abdominal binder. Sometimes these will be combined as a girdle. The specific choices are made to hold and support your result optimally. You usually will need to wear this type of support for 4-6 weeks.Regarding your own clothing choice - comfortable athletic wear is usually your best bet. Slip on shoes (with flat, sturdy soles), loose fitting yoga pants and an athletic sweater that zips in the front.You need to avoid clothes that require a lot of bending, arm movement and pulling over the head.Beyond that, the choice is up to you.Best of luck with your recovery!Dr Nodwell

Depending on the type of procedure, you would be wearing surgical garments provided by your surgeon. On top of those, you should wear loose fitting and stretchy clothing. All the best!

This depends on what procedures you’ve had done. Usually, a button up soft cotton shirt and elasticized sweat pants or pyjama pants are comfortable for patients who’ve had body contouring procedures performed. Try to avoid anything that you need to slip over your head, since you may not be able to, or advised to, lift your arms shortly after your surgery.

Loose fitting clothing that opens in the front and is easy to get in and out of will be the most comfortable. Good luck!

After a mommy makeover, comfort is key, and wearing loose-fitting and comfortable clothing can help ease the recovery process. Keep in mind that your choice of clothing may also depend on the specific procedures you've undergone (e.g., breast augmentation, tummy tuck) and your plastic surgeon's recommendations. Here are some general suggestions:1. Loose Tops with Front Openings: Button-down or zip-up tops are practical, especially if you've had breast surgery. They allow for easy access without putting strain on the operated areas.2. Elastic-Waist Bottoms: Comfortable, loose-fitting pants or shorts with an elastic waistband can provide comfort without putting pressure on the abdominal area if you've had a tummy tuck or liposuction.3. Maxi Dresses or Skirts: These are comfortable and allow for easy movement without putting pressure on the surgical sites.4. Comfortable Bras: If you've had breast surgery, you'll likely need a supportive and comfortable bra. Your plastic surgeon will provide guidance on the type of bra that's suitable for your specific procedure.5. Slip-On Shoes: Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, as you may have some restrictions on bending over or reaching certain areas during the initial recovery period.6. Compression Garments: Your plastic surgeon may recommend or provide compression garments. These can help reduce swelling and provide support during the healing process.7. Dark-colored Clothing: In case of any oozing or staining from surgical dressings, it's a good idea to wear dark-colored clothing, which can help conceal any potential marks.Remember to follow your plastic surgeon's specific postoperative care instructions and clothing recommendations. Everyone's recovery process is unique, and your plastic surgeon will provide guidance based on your individual case. It's crucial to prioritize comfort and avoid tight or restrictive clothing during the initial stages of recovery.

During recovery you want to wear loose, stretchy clothing that fits well over your garment. Leggings, loose fitting pants, and non restrictive tops will be most comfortable. In the beginning you will have swelling so elastic waist pants will work well.
