How painful is mommy makeover surgery?

#

Mommy makeover recovery involves manageable soreness controlled by multimodal pain management, with patients walking on day one and returning to desk work in 10 to 14 days under Dr. Vishal Purohit's care in Jaipur.

Clinical Pathology & Literature Context

Discomfort peaks during the first 48 to 72 hours, primarily felt as abdominal tightness from muscle plication rather than sharp pain. Dr. Vishal Purohit utilizes multimodal analgesia—including long-acting local nerve blocks (TAP blocks), scheduled non-opioid anti-inflammatories, and muscle relaxants—to ensure comfortable recovery. Patients are mobilized within 4 to 6 hours post-op in a 'beach chair' flexed posture to protect abdominal suture tension. By week two, most soreness resolves, allowing driving and sedentary work. Swelling gradually subsides over three to six months, enhanced by medical compression garments.

Surgical & Post-Operative Recovery Protocol

Avoid lifting anything heavier than 5 kg for the first six weeks. Strenuous core workouts and gym fitness restart at eight weeks. Consult M.Ch plastic surgeon Dr. Vishal Purohit in Jaipur.

Mommy makeover recovery involves manageable soreness controlled by multimodal pain management, with patients walking on day one and returning to desk work in 10 to 14 days under Dr. Vishal Purohit's care in Jaipur.

Clinical Pathology & Literature Context

Discomfort peaks during the first 48 to 72 hours, primarily felt as abdominal tightness from muscle plication rather than sharp pain. Dr. Vishal Purohit utilizes multimodal analgesia—including long-acting local nerve blocks (TAP blocks), scheduled non-opioid anti-inflammatories, and muscle relaxants—to ensure comfortable recovery. Patients are mobilized within 4 to 6 hours post-op in a 'beach chair' flexed posture to protect abdominal suture tension. By week two, most soreness resolves, allowing driving and sedentary work. Swelling gradually subsides over three to six months, enhanced by medical compression garments.
