Manish H. Shah, MD answers: Is Liposuction safe 8 months after C-section?

My baby is 8 months now. Would it be ok to get Liposuction?

Liposuction is best performed when you are not breast feeding because of the effects of medications taken by you getting passed to your child in your milk.  Also, you need to be at a stable weight close to your pre-pregnancy weight.  This is because liposuction is designed to be a spot treatment, not a weight-loss measure.  Finally, take a critical look at the number and location of your stretch marks in the areas you are looking to contour because that skin is not going to shrink as well after the fat is removed leaving you with the possibility of a lax, deflated look.  In this situation, a surgical remedy may be in order instead.

Good luck,

Dr. Shah
