16 Feb 10 Things No One Will Tell You Before Your Mommy Makeover
If you are reading this, chances are you have made up your mind, and you are moving forward and having your mommy makeover.
Yes, it’s exciting, and the results of your mommy makeover will more than likely be all you hope them to be. However, skimming over the realities of this extensive surgery would be counterproductive to the overall success of your operation. If you are mentally prepared for this surgery, you will be exponentially more prepared for the physical aspects of this surgery.
Talking candidly with your surgeon is a must. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Knowledge is power, so find out all there is to know.
Here are some tips that you may find helpful; little nuggets of advice collected from women who have gone through a mommy makeover procedure.
• If you have been told, “expect swelling”—it’s a huge understatement. Be prepared for SWELLING.
• “Some discomfort” = A LOT of pain.
• The pain meds you’re given will slow things down. Take a stool softener!
• Don’t watch funny movies for at least two weeks after surgery because it hurts to laugh.
• You will, more than likely, experience some level of depression after your mommy makeover. This is normal.
• You’ll need about seven pairs of cheap, cotton granny panties to wear post-op.
• It is helpful to rent a hospital bed or use a recliner for sleeping. In the beginning, you won’t be able to lie flat.
• Have someone help you shower and wash your hair. You will feel so much better.
• Do not eat processed foods for the first week. This will cause water retention, and you will swell more.
• Get help for the first few days after surgery and surround yourself with positive people.
If you remember these points, you will feel much more prepared for your mommy makeover.
