Plastics with small children at home?

I'm sure this has been asked before, but the search didn't come up with much, so my apologies if I'm beating a dead horse.

Anyway, I have two small children (currently 4 and 1.5) and I'd really like to have plastics done (first priority is a thigh lift).  Financially it is probably not in the cards for me, but I'm doing my homework anyway.   Has anyone had plastics with little ones at home?  Is it possible to recover at home?  How long would I need someone to help with the kids?

I think the biggest problem would be lifting them. I'll be 4.5 weeks out from a TT with some lipo on my hips and thighs when I watch my nieces for the first time since surgery (5 & 8, but the 5 year old still loves to be held all the time). I picked the little one up without even thinking to get her out of a cart last week when I was out with them and nothing bad happened, but I still probably shouldn't have done it. The first week I couldn't even lift a gallon of milk. Everyone recovers differently and every surgeons protocols are different, but I'm not supposed to do any weights until 8 weeks out, so I figure its the same for lifting the kids.

I'm 10 days out of a corsettrunkplasty. I am a single mother of 4,7,& 8 year olds. My grandmother kept my kids for 4 days then they came home. My 4 year old likes to be held & sit on my lap, but I have to tell him to "be careful, can't hurt mommy". He understands that I'm hurting. I have a high pain tolerance as I've been off pain meds except at night. To get a break, i take them to camp daily. I do give 4 yo his bath at night as well. I'm saying it can be done, but be careful. My 7 & 8 yo help carry laundry basket & trash bags, so they are helpful.

Hi Paula, I remember you from the preggo board! I just had my arm lift, breast lift and augmentation a month ago. My kids are almost 4 and the twins are almost 1.5. I did ok. My Hubby worked from home for 2 weeks to do the heavy lifting and most of the childcare. I really could have used another week, but that was all we could swing. I just try to keep the lifting to an absolute minimum. Honestly, I probably would be healing better if I didn't have to lift the kids from time to time. I can't imagine with a thigh lift. My arm lift has been pretty tricky to heal and I'm generally a great healer. I still have some scabbing in some spots and there are a couple areas that look like they are trying to re-open, luckily so far they look good and my surgeon is pleased. I'm planning a panni next month and that should be another interesting one.... It's rough with little ones, but do your best to keep the lifting to a minimum and follow your surgeon's orders.

Thanks for the input.  I'm currently torn between having more kids or having plastics instead, lol.  I had two miscarriages over the winter and I'm thinking this might be a sign to be done.  If I get my period this month, I'm putting in some calls to start consultations and see if there is a possibility of having some skin removed on my insurance company's dime.
