These procedures offer wonderful results and can help moms feel good about their post-baby bodies. However, we do think it is important that potential patients be well informed of the recovery time associated with their mommy makeover procedures, especially if they have small children. Women that undergo tummy tuck surgery in particular will experience discomfort and may develop complications if they bend down and pick up their children. This can be difficult for mothers and their children; we recommend that mommy makeover patients get child care help for a week or two after surgery so the patient can rest and avoid any strenuous activity. Being prepared for the recovery process will make it easier on the patient and their family. We have also seen an increase in the number of women coming into our practice for mommy makeovers.
