The recovery process is key to successful mommy makeover results. Giving your body enough time to recover from the surgical procedure helps minimize the risk of complications and ensures that your results will be both beautiful and long-lasting.

Dr. Richard Lee is one of the most sought out mommy makeover surgeons in Newport Beach. A common question he hears from patients is, “When is the right time to schedule mommy makeover?” In this blog post, the trusted Newport Beach cosmetic surgery expert shares the benefits of undergoing mommy makeover during the holiday season.

More Time Off Work

The initial recovery period for mommy makeover is typically one to two weeks, depending on the patient’s unique healing progress. During this time, you will need to avoid your normal routine, including work. Many workplaces close for the holidays, giving mommy makeover patients more days off and potentially more time to recover.

More Time Spent Indoors

Getting the bed rest you need during the first few weeks of recovery is easier to do during the holiday season. The weather gets cooler and the days gets shorter, giving you more incentives to stay indoors and recover. Cozying up on your couch or bed to watch your favorite holiday movie is an excellent way to allow your body to heal as quickly as possible.

More Clothing

The cold weather gives you the perfect excuse to bundle up in comfy and bulky clothing, which can hide surgical garments and drains as you recover. Sweaters, long-sleeved shirts and other cold-weather attire are also helpful in protecting your surgical incisions from the sun. Unprotected sun exposure interferes with the incisions’ ability to heal properly and can leave behind dark and unattractive scars. Protecting your incisions from the sun’s harmful rays is easier to do during the holiday months than it is during the summer.

Look Fabulous by Summer

Speaking of summer, undergoing mommy makeover during the holiday season ensures that you will look great just in time for the swimsuit season.
