Cosmetic Surgery is an Art and a Science
Mother makeovers can be done at almost any time. You need not wait months to plan your procedure unless you have timing issues. Consult 1-2 board certified plastic surgeon in your area. Make sure you are comfortable with their environment and demeanor. Look at photos and websites as well. I would recommend you wait 3-6 months post delivery to start the process. All the best

Post Pregnancy Mommy Makeover
In regards to the consultation, I think it is appropriate to meet with 3-4 board certified plastic surgeons about 3 months prior to your planned procedure. It is important that you find someone who understands your goals/desires, and you also feel confident in their ability to reach them.
I typically recommend a mommy makeover 4-6 months after a patient has finished breast feeding and when they feel their core strength has...

When To Consult With A Plastic Surgeon About A Mommy Makeover?
I agree with one of your other responders, it's never too early to get a consultation about a Mommy Makeover. Once you have decided not to have any more children, then one or more consultations with Board Certified Plastic Surgeons experienced in the Mommy Makeover, surgical or non-surgical procedures, is the appropriate next step.
During this consultation, you should ask the plastic surgeon what areas of change on your body could be corrected by his or her Mommy Makeover...

Timing for Mommy makeover
It takes awhile for the body to recover following a pregnancy. Also, different people recover at different rates. Your best bet at a good result is to wait until your body had stabilized and is not changing any more. Whether this is six months or less depends on the patient. When you see your plastic surgeon, he/she will help you determine the optimal time frame for your surgery.

Timing for Mommy Make over post delivery varies for each person
It is never too early to discuss your concerns and the options available to you to correct the post pregnancy changes, however, the timing of the surgery will be based on your body and how quickly, if ever, your body returns back to baseline. Many people find that their body never returns to baseline! The effects of breast feeding are variable as well. Some people will lose weight while breast feeding, while others gain weight. So the timing is best judged by you-...

Timing of mommy makeover after childbirth
The best time to start visiting board certified Plastic surgeons to discuss your individualized mommy makeover is when you are done having children. You may also want to wait until 3-6 months after you have stopped nursing and when your weight is where you are comfortable. You will need to work hard on core conditioning so that your can get your muscles toned again.

Do Mommy Makeovers need to be booked 6 months in advance?
A Mommy Makeover, a combination of a Tummy Tuck, with or without Liposuction, with a Cosmetic Breast Surgery (Breast Augmentation, Breast Lift or both) can be done once you completed your family AND pregnancy associated changes (swelling, weight gain/loss) have stabilized and are not changing. This may take shorter or longer in some women.

How soon after pregnancy to schedule a mommy makeover
You should back to a stable body weight before planning to have a mommy makeover (tummy tuck and breast procedure). Also, if you are breast feeding, you should wait at least three months after you have stopped, before having breast surgery. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for an examination and an outline of a timetable for your specific situation.
Best wishes,

Mommy Makeover with Tummy Tuck and Breast Augmentation
First and foremost, you need to be certain that your body has fully recovered from the effects of pregnancy and breastfeeding. Typically, I recommend women wait about six months after breastfeeding before they consider Breast Augmentation surgery and six months after childbirth before considering Tummy Tuck surgery. Around that time hormones have typically stabilized and the breasts have returned to their post-pregnancy shape and the abdominal area has most likely returned to its...

Mommy makeover after child birth
When considering a mommy makeover after a recent pregnancy there are a number of factors to consider. First you want to be close to your pre-pregnancy weight. Also if you are breast feeding , you want to give your breasts ample time to shrink to a stable size, approximately 3 months, but evey one is different. Third you want to be in optimal health. Consult with both your obstetrician and Plastic Surgeon.
