I am asking the questions because I've seen lots of complaints the pain after surgery for a mommy makeover is really painful? And pardon my French but they sound like they been to hell and back. I have a very high tolerance pain level and even when in pain usually don't complain and suck it up. So should I truly be concern with the pain level according to some reviews?

Answer: Recovery Recovery is unique to each patient. The worst pain is typically reported during the first week of recovery. I prefer to use Exparel for my patients which seems to help manage the pain well during the first few days. Narcotic pain medication and other interventions typically help keep pain at a tolerable level for most patients. There is some discomfort involved, but the general consensus is that the end result is worth it. The important thing is to follow your surgeon's instructions and to listen to your body.

Answer: Pain after Mommy Makeover, how bad is it? Options for control. Thank you for your question. Our office takes post operative pain management seriously. Our current protocol includes a pain pump, (with numbing medicine), that will instill the numbing medicine in the area for the first three days after abdominoplasty. Patients typically move off the pain medicine to Tylenol after a few days. We try to avoid ibuprofen and aspirin products for a couple weeks post op. Each patient has a different tolerance. Best to contact your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon as each surgeon will approach the operation and the post operative management differently.

Answer: Pain after a Mommy Makeover Thank you for your question. Pain and/or discomfort are subjective sensations and highly variable from patient to patient. Mommy makeover procedures commonly include breast lifts, breast augmentations, abdominoplasty and liposuction. Patients will often cite that a typical 'mommy makeover' recovery is comparable or easier than a c-section recovery and each surgeon will provide you with a recommendation and/or medications to alleviate any post-op pain. Patient's, expecially those with high pain tolerances, typically do quite well and end up saying that they thought that their recovery was going to be much worse than it was, but if you are concerned with post-operative pain I would recommend discussing your concerns with your operating surgeon.
