Mommy Makeover Recovery.... What Nobody Warns You About.

Thinking of having a Mommy Makeover or maybe you’ve scheduled one? Let me give you a few recovery tips no one tells you - but should.

First, You’ll need help. Like actual help. Not just with errands but with getting out of bed, walking, going to the bathroom…everything. You cannot and should not be alone and try to take care of yourself.

Second, compression garments - they’re not cute but they’re critical. They help shape results, reduce swelling and prevent fluid buildup. You’ll be annoyed and then grateful. Also, if you’re getting drains, managing them is a job in itself. Having a registered nurse can save you a lot of stress with this.

Emotionally, having a big surgery can be overwhelming. Between round-the-clock medications, discomfort, drains, and being out of your normal routine, crying is normal, regret is normal. It will pass. After a few days, everything gets easier. Be patient and set yourself up for success and get support - it makes ALL the difference.
