Although guidelines vary from surgeon to surgeon, I usually recommend that patients wait about 6 months after they have finished breast feeding before consulting for surgery. Depending on the patient, it may be up to one year after birth before the individual is able to move forward with a cosmetic procedure. As with any surgery, it is important that your body is fully healed from any previous trauma before moving forward.
Hello dear!Thanks for the question and provided information as well.You can be a candidate for plastic surgery, six months after you have stopped breastfeeding, when your hormones have normalized.l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.Good luck :)
I usually recommend that patients wait at least 6 months after delivering their baby to have body contouring surgery. This usually gives women enough time to lose any excess weight they gained during pregnancy. If they are still losing weight at 6 months, I recommend that they keep losing until they are at their goal weight. Sometimes I recommend stopping short of your "ideal" body weight as many women don't have enough residual fat at their Ideal body weight to obtain the results they are seeking via the Brazilian Butt Lift. I always recommend that you finish breast feeding prior to undergoing surgery as well. Good Luck Dr M

Yes, for those with a history of Herpes, I think it is a great idea to take antiviral medicines like Famvir, Zovirax, Valtrex, or Acyclovir at least a few days before surgery and for 10 days afterwards. It will either prevent or make the recurrence of a Herpes outbreak much less.
Thanks for your question. You're still in the early stage of healing and should give it some time to see the final results. There is a process of swelling and bruising that peaks at 3 days after surgery and then undergoes the first stage of major resolution in the first 2 weeks after surgery. T...
Pain is not unusual after this type of surgery but your pain seems more than usual. I would be concerned for an infection and want to make sure that this is ruled out. I would suggest that you go back to your doctor to make sure of this. Good luck Dr. Vasisht-South Shore...
I think it is a great idea to take Vitamedica surgical supplements including their vitamins, arnica and bromalain prior to your Brazilian Butt lift. The formulation is made specifically for surgical patients and eliminates several of the ingredients of multivitamins and supplements that...
