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.

”Very professional, courteous office staff. Dr Shatkin and his APP Michelle are excellent. They are personable, confident in what they do and most of all made me feel comfortable during simple procedures and through my surgery. I highly recommend to anyone looking for something as simple as laser treatment, injectables or for any surgical procedure.”
