Is it safe to get Cellfina while breastfeeding? If I continue to lose weight, will the results change?

Your body goes through many changes due to pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. Therefore, it’s a good idea to wait until everything has normalized before having any treatments or procedures. Also, you should be at your ideal weight and be able to maintain it for several months before seeking any kind of body contouring procedures. An additional concern is that any medications administered during or after the procedure could enter your breastmilk. Give it time. Your patience will pay off and you will likely enjoy great results from Cellfina™.

It is best for patients to wait until after breastfeeding to have treatment with Cellfina. Pregnancy and breastfeeding cause a woman’s body to go through many changes. As a woman is breastfeeding, weight loss, as well as many other changes, occur. Several factors contribute to the development of cellulite. Weight loss often reduces cellulite appearance and should not affect the results of Cellfina. However, it is recommended for patients to be at an ideal, stable weight before having treatment with Cellfina. Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon regarding the best treatment plan for you. Good luck and congratulations on the new addition to your family!

I do not recommend having ANY cosmetic invasive or non-invasive procedures including laser treatments while pregnant or breast feeding. Prior to having Cellfina, you are injected with a multi-hole needle with Epinephrine, Lidocaine, and Sodium Bicarbonate. The side effects of these medications on an unborn child or breastfeeding child have not been studied, therefore we do not recommend. Best of luck!#breastfeedingandcellfina   #invasiveprocedure   #tumescent
