Wait at least 6 months.

William H. Huffaker, MD answers: Should I wait before I have Liposuction?

I just had a baby and I want to have Liposuction done. Is it a bad idea to get done if I want to continue having 3 more kids?

Liposuction after childbirth is no problem, but it is best to wait at least 6 months for your body to stabilize. During this time you should exercise and diet to try to lose as much weight as you can on your own. Liposuction is not a weight loss technique. Liposuction is helpful to reduce the fat in the typical feminine areas that do not respond to ordinary weight loss.
