How much time is needed off work after a mommy makeover?

Thank you for your question. Every surgeon will have his/her own preferences as to recovery for specific procedures. Normally, patients can return to light activities almost immediately after surgery, normal activities 2 weeks after surgery, and vigorous exercise 4 weeks after surgery.  We usually experience a slow steady improvement for 3 months or so after surgery.Combination procedures can give powerful results bsafety is key.  You definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

If the mommy makeover involves a tummy tuck, this is usually the greatest factor which determines your healing schedule. Many patients can drive after about seven days and return to work at about two weeks. You should expect to be sore, but functional,  at these times.
