Week 1: Rest and Recovery
- Immediately after surgery, rest is crucial
- You'll experience swelling, bruising, and some discomfort, but pain will be effectively managed with prescribed medications
- Arranging for a trusted caregiver at home is essential during this period, as you'll need assistance with daily activities, childcare, and household responsibilities
- Keep your environment comfortable, stocked with essentials like water, snacks, medications, and entertainment to promote relaxation and healing
Week 2: Gradual Progress
- During the second week, you'll notice significant improvements
- Swelling begins to subside, bruising diminishes, and mobility improves
- Though you'll start feeling stronger, strenuous activities and heavy lifting remain restricted
- Gentle movement, like short walks around your home, is encouraged to promote circulation and facilitate healing
- Follow Dr. Repta’s detailed care instructions carefully to optimize your results and recovery
Week 3: Increased Energy and Independence
- By week three, most patients experience a notable increase in energy levels and independence
- Swelling continues to decrease, and you can resume most light daily tasks comfortably
- Depending on your personalized surgical plan, some patients may return to non-strenuous work at this stage
- Continue avoiding heavy lifting or vigorous physical activities, but gentle activities like extended walks become beneficial
Week 4: Returning to Normal
- The fourth week marks a significant milestone—most women can return to work and regular daily routines, feeling more like themselves again
- Residual swelling remains, but becomes increasingly subtle
- You might also start appreciating the initial aesthetic improvements as the body contours become more defined and sculpted
- Follow-up visits with Dr. Repta ensure your recovery is progressing optimally
Weeks 5-6: Embracing Your New Figure
- By weeks five and six, most patients can engage in moderate exercise and gradually resume all pre-surgical activities, except highly strenuous workouts
- You'll begin truly enjoying your enhanced figure, with results from procedures like tummy tucks, breast augmentations or lifts, and liposuction becoming more visibly defined
- Dr. Repta will guide you in safely resuming your regular exercise routine to further enhance and maintain your results
Beyond Week 6: Confidence Restored
- After the sixth week, recovery continues subtly over the next several months as your body fully settles into its beautifully restored shape
