Mommy Makeover at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov Medical Center)

The recovery period depends on the individual procedures involved and your general health. You should be able to return to some of your normal activities and work within 2-3 weeks. However, you will need to avoid strenuous activities, such as heavy lifting, for at least 8 weeks. The total recovery time until your body is fully recovered may take around 2 to 3 months.

A mommy makeover is a safe and effective procedure to restore a woman’s pre-pregnancy body. The results are mostly positive and complications are rare. Almost all women who had a mommy makeover are satisfied with the outcome. Note that for some types of surgical procedures, the final results may not be apparent for several months after surgery.

Although a mommy makeover is safe, it does carry some possible risks and complications. The possible risks may include bleeding, poor healing of incisions, infection, seroma, hematoma, inability to breastfeed, loss of nipple sensation, implant leak, anaplastic large cell lymphoma, capsular contracture, unfavorable scarring, fat necrosis, cardiac and pulmonary complications, deep vein thrombosis, asymmetry, contour deformity, persistent pain, fat embolization, and an adverse reaction to the anesthetic.

To reduce the risk of complications and to achieve the best results, you should always choose a board-certified surgeon. You also need to follow your surgeon’s instructions closely.
