Once you are fully sedated, Dr. Trupiano will perform the various surgical steps unique to your plan.

What to Expect from Your Birmingham, MI Mommy Makeover Recovery
Your mommy makeover recovery in Birmingham, MI is highly dependent on the specific surgeries that were included in your treatment plan and may include staying overnight at the hospital. If you are discharged the same day, you will need a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you for at least the first 24 hours. Your immediate recovery will take place at the surgical center in a comfortable recovery room where you will wake up from anesthesia and have time to get dressed. Before you are discharged, a member of the team will review your post-operative care instructions with you and the person you have chosen to drive you home.
Dr. Trupiano recommends taking 1 to 2 weeks off work and normal activities to rest. During this time, you may experience pain, swelling, discomfort, and bruising at the surgical sites, and you will be able to manage pain with prescription and over-the-counter pain medication. You will be given specialized compression garments to support your contours and alleviate pressure on your sutures that you will need to wear all the time except when showering and laundering for the first few weeks.
