you will experience some residual swelling and bruising at the 6th week post tummy tuck. It is still necessary to refrain from vigorous exercise and heavy lifting during this period. In order to achieve full recovery and the best results, I suggest that you visit your plastic surgeon who conducted this operation.

I just started taking prevention pills (mordette pills) and I want to start taking slimz cut (weight loss pills) would it be okay

Female | 18

Whenever you are mixing two different types of pills, you should be cautious. Mordette should be taken for protection and Slimz Cut for shedding off some extra pounds. It can be dangerous to use them together. There might be side effects due to the unknown interactions when pills are mixed without knowledge. It is recommended that you talk to a healthcare provider before taking any new drug.
