Pregnancy and childbirth are life-changing experiences, but they can also bring lasting changes to your body. If you’re feeling less confident about sagging skin, stretched abdominal muscles, or changes to your breasts, a mommy makeover in Beverly Hills and Pasadena with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Leif Rogers, MD, FACS, may be the solution.
Recovery After Your Mommy Makeover
Recovery after a Mommy Makeover depends on the specific combination of procedures performed, your individual anatomy, and your body’s natural healing process. Most patients can expect the following timeline:
- First week: Expect mild to moderate swelling, bruising, and soreness. Dr. Rogers provides prescription medication and guidance to keep you comfortable.
- 2 weeks: Most patients are able to resume light daily activities, including walking and gentle household tasks.
- 4–6 weeks: Gradually return to more strenuous exercise, lifting, and high-impact activities — only with Dr. Rogers’ approval.
- 3–6 months: Full recovery and final results become more apparent as swelling subsides and tissues settle.
Dr. Rogers and his team provide personalized aftercare instructions, including incision care, activity guidelines, and follow-up appointments, to ensure a smooth recovery and long-lasting, natural-looking results. Every step of the process is tailored to your unique Mommy Makeover plan, so you can safely regain your pre-baby body with confidence.
