If you’re considering a mommy makeover or other cosmetic surgical procedure, your first question may be, “What is the recovery period going to be like?” When we schedule a medical procedure of any kind, we trust our physicians to do what they do best, but what happens when we get home?
While your surgeon will provide you with detailed discharge orders and instructions on what you can and can not do while you recover, it can still feel overwhelming, especially if you’ll need assistance during this time.

Additionally, they can be there with you during pre- and post-op appointments so you can be sure you don’t miss a single detail, and even help with transportation to and from surgery.
