Chin lipo/FaceTite - is it a bad idea to get this done one month postpartum?

Question

I want to have chip liposuction and facetite done when I'm on maternity leave since I don't have much vacation time otherwise. Is getting this procedure done one month postpartum a terrible idea. I don't care about me healing from the baby and feeling back to normal (I'll be fine) but more so questioning are there problems that could arise if I get lipo and then lose additional weight. Will stretching/pulling occur or would additional weight loss potentially enhance results? Thanks!

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

It's essential to remember that pregnancy and delivery can place significant strain on your body, making it unsafe to undergo surgery shortly thereafter. A trustworthy plastic surgeon will insist that you wait for a minimum of six months following childbirth before undergoing any invasive plastic surgery procedures.

Furthermore, staying within 20lbs of your optimal weight is generally considered to be the most advisable approach for the best results.

I hope this helps,

Best of luck !

I don’t think having facetite is going to make a significant difference.
Make sure you’re a good candidate for the procedure and that you have done your homework in regards to finding the most talented and experience provider by having multiple in person consultations before having a permanent and irreversible operation.
The recovery from chin and neck liposuction is easy compared to most other cosmetic surgical procedures. You’ll feel a little stiffness especially when you’re turning your neck. It shouldn’t prevent you from doing daily activities even within a few days.
If done correctly, the amount of bruising should be minimal. Technically your results should continue to improve to some degree after further weight loss.
The majority of individuals will seek chin and neck liposuction have a facial, skeletal imbalance with a small or under projecting mandible.
Perhaps maternity leave was intended to care for your newborn?
