How soon after a Mommy Makeover would the average person be ready for vacation travel. Also are there restrictions as far as when you can do certain activities such as swimming in a public pool or snow skiing?

Answer: Travel after Mommy Makeover Thanks for your question. This will vary greatly on what you have done. If you have a standard abdominoplasty and breast augmentation, I would recommend you wait 6-8 weeks before snow skiing. If you are just going to be lounging and slow walking, 3-4 weeks is probably reasonable as long as you don't plan on lifting heavy objects or getting your heart rate too high. Once all of your incisions are healed, your drains are out and the drain sites are healed, you can get into a pool. This varies greatly from one patient to another so I would advise you to ask your plastic surgeon what you can specifically do at what time. Best wishes.

Answer: Mommy makeover recovery If possible I would recommend a 3 month time before extensive travel after a mommy makeover. You will be feeling fairly normal by that time and can gentle lift luggage that does not weigh much (but try to have someone do that for you).In my practice swimming in chlorinated pools ok at 3-6 weeks as in the past we have used chlorinated solutions to clean wounds and snow skiing ???? I would say 6 months. Ask your PS about your particular trip.
