Liposuction After Giving Birth

Liposuction isn’t recommended
immediately following pregnancy, for a variety of reasons.These include the inability to make aesthetic
judgments immediately following pregnancy, the mother’s overall health status
and the demands of a newborn child on the mother. For
these reasons, liposuction should be delayed for at least three to six months
following pregnancy.After three to six
months, the procedure can be performed without difficulty.At that point in time, aesthetic judgments
can be made which will ultimately result in significant improvement in
contour.This procedure is associated
with excellent results and high levels of patient satisfaction. If
you’re considering liposuction following pregnancy, it’s important to consult a
board-certified plastic surgeon.This
surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your
anatomic concerns and achieves your aesthetic goals.

Thank you for your question. You need to wait at least 6 months after giving birth and stop breastfeeding. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.
Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

I always recommend my patients to wait 6-8 months for any kind of plastic surgery after giving birth.

Before moving ahead with the procedure, you should be sure that you have fully recovered from pregnancy. We usually recommend waiting a minimum of six months after delivery before scheduling liposuction in order to give the body enough time to completely heal. Women with young children should also make child care preparations prior to surgery since treatment requires a week or two of recovery before normal activities can be resumed.

You will heal better if surgery, including liposuction, is done when you are close to ideal body weight.  You should try to exercise and diet to come close to the pre-pregnancy weight before liposuction.
