You should take a few days off breastfeeding just to ensure none of the anesthetics are in your milk. For liposuction after care, I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance.

When discussing liposuction in the peri-natal/breast feeding period, the question is less the danger to the feeding child (most medication will clear in a few days) and rather the changes that your body is going through secondary to hormonal fluctuations.It is always best to exhibit restraint in the post-partum period. This is due to the fact that your body is changing dramatically during this period. The hormonal fluctuation can alter size and shape widely during the immediate post-partum period and can continue through the period of nursing. Body contouring during this period is the equivalent of hitting a moving target.The optimal candidate for liposuction has reached a healthy stable weight. In the setting of a recent pregnancy and delivery this stable weight can take some time to reach. A general rule of thumb is at least 6-9 months post-partum. If you choose to breast-feed through the first year of life you should allow at least three months following the discontinuation of breast-feeding before considering any procedures.As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon.
Thank you for sharing your question and congratulations on your recent delivery. My recommendation would be to not pursue any type of surgical intervention for at least 6 months after delivery or three months after nursing, whichever is later. This will allow your skin time to shrink and return to its new "normal." Intervention now would be like trying to build the walls of a house when the foundation hasn't dried. Hope this helps.
It really depends on your body shape and techniques used for body shaping. Keep in mind, you still have swelling which will resolve in 3-6 months, so it's too soon to tell what your final results will be. 1L is not much for the average overweight person, but could be alot for someone very thin....
Thanks for your question. The answer is that everyone is different. Typically I recommend to my patients to start massaging 2 weeks after liposuction in the flanks. It is very typically to get some "hard spots" after liposuction which is basically "internal scar tissue" that has to "bre...
You have a double fold on the right side that is more pronounced that the left. Careful small volume liposuction and fat transfer will help. You already have a beautiful buttock and perfect symmetry is not possible, however some very careful surgery in the area will improve your concern. Best of...
