Prep for Surgery Properly

It is important to properly prepare for your Mommy Makeover. That means that patients need to quit smoking, avoid certain medications, and stick to a healthy diet. Smoking can delay the healing process and can put patients at risk for potential post-surgery complications. Some medications can thin the blood, which can lead to increased bleeding and bruising. And having a well-balanced diet beforehand will ensure that you are as healthy as possible before going into surgery.

Get Things in Order Before

After surgery, you are going to want to come home and rest, relax, and recover. It will be beneficial to you and your family (or other housemates) if you have things in order before your surgery, that way you won’t be rushing around your home while you are recovering. Make a list of the things you need to do before your surgery, like:

  • Arrange childcare
  • Stock up on groceries
  • Fill all prescriptions
  • Hire a housekeeper
  • Set up a personal recovery station with your favorite things

By following these steps and Dr. D’Souza’s after-care plan and instructions, your Mommy Makeover recovery should be much easier and more relaxing than if you hadn’t done anything.
