Tips for Faster Recovery
Is Mommy Makeover Painful?
Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort in the first few days following surgery, but this is easily managed with prescribed pain medication.
To further minimize post-operative pain, Dr. Itay Wiser utilizes an advanced nerve block technique during surgery. This temporarily numbs the surgical area, significantly reducing discomfort for the first 24-48 hours after the procedure. Patients who receive a nerve block often report a smoother, more comfortable recovery with less reliance on pain medication.
📌 Dr. Wiser’s focus on patient comfort ensures that you experience the easiest and most pain-free recovery possible.
