How soon after I quit breastfeeding can I have surgery like Tummy Tuck?

Six months would be a reasonable time to wait after cessation of breastfeeding before pursuing a a TT. Best to return to your pre-pregnancy weight six months before having the TT.   Be sure that you have a good support system to help with the baby as you will not be able to do any strenuous lifting for 4-6 weeks after surgery. 

Thanks for your question. It is recommended to wait at least 3 to 6 months after breastfeeding to have cosmetic surgery. The best person to advice you will be your specific surgeon. You definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Thank you for your question. I personally recommend my patients wait 3-6 months after breast feeding before having surgery as you need to wait for your weight to stabilize. I recommend consulting with a plastic surgeon in person to discuss your aesthetic goals. Good luck!Kamran Azad, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
