No. The Breast & Abdomen Procedure are not exclusive to mothers. The name refers to a combination of Plastic Surgery procedures used to restore the body after sagging and wear. This can be caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, hormonal changes, extreme weight loss/gain, or aging.

A Breast & Abdomen Procedure involves a sequence of surgeries with a standard operating timeframe of 4 -8 hours. Each procedure is highly customised, based on the individual needs of the client, and their desired results. Your Plastic Surgeon will advise you on the actual timing of your surgery once your combination of procedures has been finalised.

Our skilled Plastic Surgeons take great care to conceal incision lines in the natural folds of the body, so that they can be hidden as much as possible. All clients heal at different rates but, in most cases, scars take up to 18 months to heal. Over this time, you will see a continual improvement—the colour of your scars will change, and they will fade if cared for properly. Be sure to talk to your Plastic Surgeon about your concerns with scarring during your consultations.

Breast & Abdomen Combination Procedure recovery timelines vary depending on the number of procedures included, and the type of surgeries performed. In most cases, results can be felt immediately after surgery, though swelling and bruising can be present for up to 10 days.

All clients heal at different rates but, generally, clients can reintroduce light exercise (walking) after 2 weeks, resume driving after at least 4 weeks, and return to work after at least 6 weeks.

Following surgery, the body needs time to settle—it can take 6 to 12 months to experience the full outcomes of your surgery.

Yes. Post-surgery support garments are critical to your recovery – they aid in the management of swelling, protect your incisions while they heal, and contribute to your overall results. In most cases, these compression-style garments must be worn for up to 6 weeks. Your Plastic Surgeon will advise on the specific timeframe for your recovery.

While, in most cases, light exercise can be reintroduced 2 weeks after surgery, this is strictly limited to walking and very short, assisted stair climbs. Generally, other exercise can be reintroduced 8 to 12 weeks after surgery, though your specific recovery may vary depending on the complexity of your procedures.

It is important to note that high impact activities, like running and weightlifting, should not resume until you have completely recovered. Commencing these activities early can impact your results.

As with all aspects of your recovery, your Surgeon will provide you with personalised advice on the right timings for you.

Your Surgeon will provide you with personalised advice on how to manage your pain effectively and can prescribe medication as required.

Generally speaking, clients are able to resume driving 4 weeks after surgery. As with all aspects of your recovery following a Breast & Abdomen Procedure, your Surgeon will provide you with personalised advice on when you can safely commence driving.
