Mommy Makeover Recovery Time

Watch this video by Samuel Shatkin Jr., MD, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in Buffalo, NY as he explains the healing timeframe you can expect after undergoing a Mommy Makeover procedure.

The recovery after a mommy makeover will really depend on what procedures we’re performing. But generally, if a patient had a tummy tuck with the muscle tightening of the abdomen and some liposuction, they’re usually sort of laid up at home trying to take it easy for the first 5 to 7 days before they feel a little bit more comfortable getting out and about. Usually within four weeks, the patients can resume all physical activity.
