Patients are usually able to return home the day of their procedure, but are recommended to take at least one or two weeks off of work and other activities. During this time, it is common to experience bruising, swelling, and varying discomfort in the treatment areas. It is important for patients to get as much rest as possible in the weeks following their treatment. Additionally, patients will have to avoid exercise, heavy lifting, and other strenuous activities for at least a month after their procedure.

The results from the mommy makeover procedure will become visible as the body recovers from treatment.
