Thank you for your question. It is recommended to wait at least 6 months after childbirth to have cosmetic surgery. It is important to give your body enough time to recover and reach an stable weight. The closer you are to your ideal weight before surgery the better your result will be. That said, 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. Best is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.
When discussing liposuction/BBL (or any body contouring for that matter) in the post partum/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 surgery 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 (ABPS).
Hi thank you for your question. Typically it is best to wait 6 months after having a baby to give your body time to recover. This will give your body time to regulate and go back to a good base. Find a board certified plastic surgeon that performs this procedure at least 100 times per year. Hope this helps,Dr. Newall
Thank you for your question. In general, I like to wait closer to six months after a pregnancy to do a BBL. This allows the tissues to return to their normal state and it also allows the pregnancy hormones to fully normalize. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.
Thank you for your question.I would recommend waiting at least 6 months, give your body time to recover from child birth. The body needs time to regulate and get back to normal. Also, if you are nursing you would want to wait until you are done nursing as well.
The typical wait time is six months, but if you are perfect pre-baby shape before then, it could be possible to do it earlier. If you are breastfeeding you should wait as well because you do not want to pass on any medication given for the procedure to your baby. Make sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to guarantee optimal results.
Hello and thank you for your excellent question. After giving birth it is recommendable to wait for a period of seven to nine months to have any surgical procedure done. Seek for a board certified plastic surgeon and have a consultation done.Hope this can be of help and Good Luck!
Jade,I wait for 6 months postpartum before doing any liposuction to allow the body to recover. This allows the abdominal muscles to contract and tighten back to their norm.Best of luck with your child and future BBL.Dr T
I would recommend waiting at least 6 months after childbirth to undergo BBL. Seek a plastic surgeon who performs many of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.
I think that you should wait until you are back to your goal weight, and you are no longer breast feeding. A good minimum is at least 6 months.
