Hi. I am 5’4 and 117lbs. I just recently had a baby 3 months ago and I have had other children, I’m curious if I would be a candidate for liposuction and liposculpture? I am still breastfeeding so I am not sure if that would interfere with anything. I am also interested in a BBL. I want something to bring back the belly lines I use to have before I had my daughter 3 months ago. My husband comments negatively on my body now and I am becoming insecure.
Answer: Considering options At three months post partum you are still healing from pregnancy. It is best to wait until you are six months post partum and have finished breastfeeding before considering plastic surgery. At that time you can be evaluated for the correct procedure based on your goals.

Answer: Postpartum Cosmetic Procedures: Brazilian Butt Lift vs. Liposuction Your question on the suitability of a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), liposuction, or liposculpture just three months postpartum and while breastfeeding is pertinent. As for breastfeeding, completing this period before considering liposuction is advisable. Although you can store breast milk for use during recovery, using narcotics for post-operative pain relief might affect the milk, which isn't ideal. Hence, waiting until after breastfeeding is recommended before contemplating surgery. Regarding a BBL, this procedure aims to lift and enhance the buttocks through fat transfer. Given your current fat reserves, a BBL might not yield significant improvements. Liposuction, on the other hand, could help eliminate the residual fat. Liposculpture using the Vaser system could be the best choice if your goal includes defined abdominal muscles. This procedure contours the abdomen, offering a more athletic look. Discussing your desired aesthetic with your plastic surgeon to ensure optimal results is vital. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen

Answer: Am I a good candidate for a Brazilian butt lift and liposuction or liposculpture? Hello @nevertruly, thank you for your question. When you are breastfeeding it is not advisable to have surgery during breastfeeding. Is best to wait 6 months after you finish breastfeeding so that your breasts have time and space to complete the changes in your breast after giving birth and lactation. That said, It is important to note that this desired outcome will depend heavily on your patient anatomy as well as skill of the specialist performing the procedure and the surgical plan presented. The ideal solution may require liposculture (body contouring) to achieve long term results and a tummy tuck that's related to pregnancy changes such as diastasis, excess fat, excess skin that contributes to the abdomen look a certain way. So it is important to have a consultation to create a surgical plan that meets your needs, meets your expectations, and takes into account what is possible. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: YOU SHOULD WAIT 6 MONTHS TO A YEAR Hello dear, thank you for your question. Because you had a birth 3 months ago, you have to wait 6 months to a year to be able to undergo any surgical procedure. After that time I would recommend you to have a tummy tuck with muscle repair, since you have had pregnancies with liposuction with BBL, in your case, because you do not have so much fat, what you could do is try to remove as much fat as possible to be able to transfer it to your buttocks. You can text us via whatsapp at 1-829-554-6062 so we can give you the necessary recommendations about surgery. A pleasure to help

Answer: Lipo - Pregnancy / Breastfeeding You need to wait at least 6 months or a year after your pregnancy and breastfeeding, so if your going to breastfeed for a year you should wait another 6-12 months after it. In my experience the best results for a body contouring surgery after pregnancies is doing a Lipo 360 + Tummy tuck so you can get your abdominal muscles repaired as well as getting rid of the extra skin, soy you get a better waist definition and also fat transfer for the BBL and hip dips.
