How Long Does It Take To Feel Normal After Mommy Makeover?
Following any surgical procedure under general anesthesia (and sometimes even local), it is normal for patients to feel groggy, nauseous, and generally “off” for a while. When looking at a longer surgery such as a mommy makeover that requires a longer period of time under general anesthesia, these side effects can last longer. Let’s take a look at the frequently asked question, “How long does it take to feel normal after mommy makeover?”
The amount of time it takes to feel “normal” will naturally vary from patient to patient. In general, the initial side effects of the anesthesia which can include nausea, grogginess, fatigue, etc., should subside within a day or two. However, due to the recovery, pain medications, and the healing process your body is undertaking, you may continue to feel off for a few weeks.
For some patients, they begin to feel mostly back to their normal selves within a week or two. Some it may take anywhere from four to six weeks. At around the eight week mark is when patients feel recovered enough to begin their fully daily activities, including most forms of exercise. Though, a good portion of patients return to work after two to three weeks.
