Lipo when pregnant
Yes, it can be done, but it shouldn't. Liposuction is an elective procedure and should not be performed while the patient is pregnant.

NO!!!!
This would not be wise to undergo liposuction while pregnant. I don't know of any competent physician who would recommend it!

All elective procedures should be postponed until after pregnancy and breast feeding. The reasons behind it can be summarized:

Can Lipo be done during pregnancy?
Yes it can but no it shouldn't. All elective surgery should be post-poned until after delivery. There is a one in 200 incidence of birth deformities anyway. You might blame yourself the rest of your life thinking you caused it when you didn't. Any surgeon willing to do lipo on a pregnant patient should be avoided at all costs. Dr Foster

Lipo on a pregnant Woman?
No, absolutely not. In addition a tummy tuck should not be performed at the same time as a c-section delivery, both are very bad ideas. The body changes tremendously during and after pregnancy, let your body regain its form and then decide if you would like to have a cosmetic procedure

Liposuction on pregnant woman
Physically, yes. But realistically, NO! Pregnancy is a time to focus on someone else. We get to focus on YOU later, but for now the focus is on the health of the child. You don't want to take anything, or have anything give to you, that can hurt your growing baby. Best of luck!
