What is the weight limit to what I can lift and carry after a mommy makeover?

Every plastic surgeon is different.  I don't like my patients to lift/carry anything over 15 pounds for 6 weeks following a tummy tuck.  Check with your plastic surgeon to see what they are comfortable with.  Good luck!

I appreciate your question.





For my patients, I recommend no heavy lifting or strenuous activity for 6-8 weeks following surgery.





The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.



Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.





Best of luck!

Thank you for your question.After a #mommymakeover, I recommend that patients wait at least six weeks before returning to normal activity without any restrictions.  That being said, ask your #boardcertified plastic surgeon for their recommendation.

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your surgery. Most patients are cleared to perform heavy lifting (including children) four to six weeks following a tummy tuck, Please discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon for recommendations regarding what you should and should not be doing. Good luck with your recovery.

Regarding
your question about lifting after your Mommy Makeover, although postop
considerations can be different for every patient, in general I advise patients
not to do any lifting for about 6 weeks after surgery and also if possible, to
avoid raising blood pressure.  You will find that restrictions will vary
slightly from surgeon to surgeon, but in general, common sense goes a long way
in this area.  I hope this information is helpful to you.   Best
of luck!

Thank you for your question. It is not wise to lift any weights until 6-8 weeks after your procedure. Best of luck

Thanks for your question.  Lifting and caring for a three month old infant should not be done for at least 6-8 weeks.  You want to be assured in achieving your best results, so the best course of action in this situation is to refrain from caring for the infant.  That way you will have enough time to heal properly and enjoy your results.  Then it will be much easier for you to help care for the baby and enjoy your new look.

Thanks for the question. Most of the time the muscle layer is tightened with a tummy tuck and lifting needs to be restricted for 6-8 weeks afterward to allow adequate healing to take place. I recommend that my patient avoid lifting anything over 10-15lbs during that period of time. You would hate to got through the surgery and stretch out the results. Good Luck.

     After you have your mommy makeover, I would advise against providing day care for your brother-in-law's three month old infant for at least 6-8 weeks.  You need to give yourself adequate time to heal from your surgery before you can safely care for a three month old infant.  Good luck

Your surgeon will have particular guidelines, but typically after a TT and breast lift, we ask you to limit lifting things for 4-6 weeks. The usual weight restriction is 5-10lbs. Best wishes.
