What procedures are included in a mommy makeover?
What procedures are included in a mommy makeover?
A mommy makeover typically combines multiple procedures to address post-pregnancy body changes. Common combinations include: breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, tummy tuck, liposuction, and body lift procedures. Because mommy makeovers are customized to each patient's goals, your specific combination of procedures will determine your recovery needs. A supportive recovery bra is essential regardless of which breast procedures you've had.
Why is a front closure important for mommy makeover recovery?
Why is a front closure important for mommy makeover recovery?
After a mommy makeover, especially if you've had a tummy tuck, your abdominal muscles are healing, and core movement is limited. Reaching behind your back to fasten a traditional bra requires twisting and stretching that can be painful or even compromise your healing. Front closure bras eliminate this struggle, allowing you to dress independently without straining your abdomen or chest. This is especially important during the first 4-6 weeks when movement restrictions are most critical.
How does a recovery bra accommodate swelling changes after a mommy makeover?
How does a recovery bra accommodate swelling changes after a mommy makeover?
Post-surgical swelling fluctuates significantly during recovery, often peaking around days 3-5 and gradually decreasing over several weeks. Our recovery bras feature adjustable compression using medical-grade Velcro closures and adjustable straps, allowing you to customize the fit as your swelling changes.
The Shirl bra's double zipper is particularly helpful for mommy makeover patients, as it accommodates both the initial post-surgical swelling and the gradual size changes as your body settles into its new shape.
Can I use my FSA or HSA to purchase a mommy makeover recovery bra?
Can I use my FSA or HSA to purchase a mommy makeover recovery bra?
Yes! Our mommy makeover recovery bras are FSA and HSA approved, which means you can use your pre-tax health savings funds to purchase them. This can help offset the cost of essential recovery garments needed after your procedures. While cosmetic surgery itself may not be covered by insurance, post-surgical compression garments are often considered eligible medical expenses.
