Women from Lone Tree, Highlands Ranch, and the Denver area trust Dr. Christopher Williams and Dr. Jeremy Williams for expert care after their mommy makeover. Both are board-certified plastic surgeons at Park Meadows Cosmetic Surgery & Aesthetics, and they will make sure you have the information you need to recover as smoothly as possible.
Set Realistic Expectations
The mommy makeover recovery timeline looks different for everyone due to the different combinations of procedures you can opt for. Some women feel ready to ease back into daily activities after about two to six weeks, while others may need more time.
Full results often take several months as your body gradually heals. Swelling, bruising, and tenderness are completely normal along the way. Your surgeon will give you detailed instructions and check in with you throughout the process to help keep your recovery on track.
Top Tips for a Smoother Recovery
The choices you make during recovery can help you feel better faster. Here are some simple but important ways to make your healing journey easier:
- Rest as much as you can. Give your body time to heal by avoiding heavy lifting, intense exercise, and any strenuous activities for several weeks.
- Plan ahead for help. Arrange for childcare, meal prep, or household help before surgery to avoid unnecessary strain afterward.
- Wear your compression garment. It helps reduce swelling and supports your body’s new shape as you heal.
- Never miss your follow-up visits. These appointments allow your surgeon to monitor your progress and answer any questions along the way.
- Stay hydrated and eat well. Drinking plenty of water and eating balanced meals rich in vitamins and protein can support your body’s natural healing process.
- Avoid smoking and alcohol. Both can interfere with healing and increase your risk of complications.
