When looking at a longer surgery such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sarasotasurgicalarts.com\/body\/mommy-makeover-in-sarasota\/\">mommy makeover<\/a> that requires a longer period of time under general anesthesia, these side effects can last longer. Let\u2019s take a look at the frequently asked question, \u201cHow long does it take to feel normal after mommy makeover?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The amount of time it takes to feel \u201cnormal\u201d will naturally vary from patient to patient. In general, the initial side effects of the anesthesia which can include nausea, grogginess, fatigue, etc., should subside within a day or two. However, due to the recovery, pain medications, and the healing process your body is undertaking, you may continue to feel off for a few weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some patients, they begin to feel mostly back to their normal selves within a week or two. Some it may take anywhere from four to six weeks. At around the eight week mark is when patients feel recovered enough to begin their fully daily activities, including most forms of exercise. Though, a good portion of patients return to work after two to three weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on your medical history and the specifics of your procedure, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sarasotasurgicalarts.com\/about-us\/dr-sessa\/\">Dr. Sessa<\/a> can make a more accurate prediction of what you can expect after Sarasota mommy makeover surgery.
