What is the recovery time like for breast augmentation? I really want the mommy makeover but should I do the procedures separate so that I can return to work and pay for them without financing?

Answer: Recovery time Recovery from a breast augmentation varies by patient. Generally patients can return to a non physically demanding job within 5 to 7 days. Lifting and activity restrictions are often in place up to six weeks. Breast augmentation is often performed in conjunction with a Mommy Makeover. Patients often prefer having to go through surgery and recovery one time if it can be done safely.

Answer: More information A mommy makeover can consist of various things. Often times, patients need more of a lift than augmentation. Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us your bra size. You may be a candidate for a breast lift more than augmentation. The breast lift technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. A tummy tuck can be performed at the same time or later. I would need more information to give you a more accurate answer. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
