Expected scars with mommy makeover:

Mommy makeover results in some scars that are sutured subtly to be as invisible as possible, but should normally be expected and accepted in all cases: 

• Breast scars: vary in their shape according to the chosen procedure, could be an inverted-T figure in case of breast lift, or could be a small transverse incision below the breasts in case of silicone implant augmentation, or no scars at all in case of natural fat transfer.
• Tummy tuck incision line scar: in just above the pubic hair area similar to a C-section scar but is much longer from hip to hip.
• Liposuction scars: vary small scars that are smaller than 0.5 cm and usually heal totally invisible after complete healing. 

The scar is designed to be concealed by your clothes and swimwear and is sutured meticulously in order to make it as inconspicuous as possible.

Recovery from mommy makeover:

It is not a highly painful group of procedures, pain killers in the form of patches, pills, and some times intramuscular injections totally alleviate pain.

Body swelling (edema) should be expected in all cases and highly varies according to different factors:

• Amount of liposuction.
• Presence or absence of drains.
• Commitment to the use of oral medications.
• Commitment to the use of compression garment.
• The extent of the procedure.
• Early movement.

Drains (small plastic tubes) are usually required in mommy makeover to drain any remaining fluids after the procedure and are usually removed by the 7th – 10th day.

The sutures are usually of the self absorbable type that require no removal, however if the non absorbable sutures are used they have to be removed by the 10th – 14th day after surgery. 

Compression garment is required for 30 days after the procedure.

Early walking after the procedure is highly encouraged.

Most patients need about 2 weeks off work, 4 weeks before going to the Gym., and 6 weeks for full recovery.

End results are expected after at least 4 months but however you can see much of your new shape as soon as the swelling starts to disappear about 2 weeks after the procedure.
