How long after arm lipo do I have to wait to get a mommy makeover?

In most cases, you should wait about 6 to 8 weeks after arm liposuction before undergoing a mommy makeover. This allows your body to Fully recover from the first procedure, Reduce inflammation and bruising and Lower the risk of complications from combining surgeries too close together.
Of course, the exact timing depends on your overall health, how your arms are healing, and what your mommy makeover includes (tummy tuck, breast surgery, etc.). Guidance is advised for individual situation/recovery.

Hello and thank you for your question! Arm lipo can be potentially combined with mommy makeover, depending on the patient/surgeon preference and what exact "mommy makeover" procedures are already planned on being performed. If you want to do this separately due to cost, recovery, surgery length/safety reasons - those are all valid reasons as well. Staged procedures are very common - typically I advise patient that it takes 2-3 months to fully "recover" from one major surgery and therefore wait at least 3 months (or sometimes longer if needed) to schedule their next major "stage".

Good luck on your journey!

Dear Exuberant121838,

you should wait until you are fully healed prior to another elective procedure. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
