So one of the surgery dates that I am looking at would be when my 2nd child turns 6 months old. I also have a 3 year old. The surgeon I am going with does rapid recovery. Do I need to wait until my youngest is a year old as to not risk any damage to the healing process?

Answer: BA recovery with small children Thank you for your question! I would recommend getting help around the house and with your small children if possible for the first 2 weeks after surgery. The main restriction will be no lifting over anything 10lbs for around 4-6 weeks. As always it would be best to discuss with your Plastic Surgeon in person as they know your specific circumstances best. Good Luck!

Answer: BA with 6 month old baby you will need a caretaker for your kids, particularly the 3 year old. For the 6 month old you can hold the baby, but I reccommend a pillow between you and the baby to avoid being elbowed by the baby. outside help for at least 1, possibly 2 weeks. Or send the kids to your parents or in-laws. or perhaps your husband could take off work for a week or so. You could probably manage by yourself without the children, but someone will need to be with you the night of the procedure.you also will need someone to drive you to the followup visits for at least a week
