Our first priority in preparing you for your Mommy Makeover is to ensure you are healthy enough to safely undergo your chosen procedures. In that, you're also getting your body ready for optimal recovery. A full physical examination will confirm that you do not have any unmanaged health conditions, such as hypertension or diabetes. If you smoke or use nicotine, you must quit at least several weeks before your procedure. This can significantly decrease the chances of surgical complications and poor wound healing.
Additional aspects of preparing for your Mommy Makeover include taking enough time off work (usually at least two weeks) and readying your home life for your early recovery period. It is advisable to arrange to have someone in your home who can take over your normal childcare and pet care duties, as well as someone who can help you take care of yourself as you recover.
