Nursing/pumping and BBL?

Hi, thanks for your question. Typically we recommend that you stop nursing at least six months prior to your BBL surgery. Part of this is in order to ensure that your body is more or less back to its pre-pregnancy state. Basically, following your surgery, you don't want your body undergoing any major changes hormonally or for other reasons as this can have an affect on your result. You also don't want to be nursing and taking pain medications or other medications that might be prescribed to you either prior to or following your surgery. That said, every surgeon has his/her own pre and post-operative guidelines that you should follow carefully. If you want to keep nursing I would delay your surgery until you are prepared to stop. There is no need to rush things. You should have your BBL when you are fully ready. I highly recommend that you book an in person consultation with your surgeon in order to discuss these and any other concerns that you may have about your upcoming surgery.

As long as all medications are no longer within the bloodstream before breast feeding is resumed, this would be acceptable.

Dear Luminous963894,
every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. Most plastic surgeons would recommend you to wait at least 6 months prior you get a surgery. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
