How long should I have to wait after having a baby to get a mommy makeovers? What would I have to do to be prepared? (Photo)

Hello, thank you for your question. Every patient is unique. In general, I recommend waiting 6 months after having a baby, assuming you are not planning on having more children. If you are breast feeding, then I recommend you wait 6 months after you have stopped breast feeding, if you are considering a breast procedure as part of your mommy makeover.  Your ultimate decision should be determined after an individual consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.
Best wishes, good luck.

Hi & thanks for your question.
Wait about 6 months after having a baby. You will want to be at a healthy, stable weight prior to surgery.
Best wishes!

Hello and thank you for your question. Generally speaking, I would tell my patients to wait until they have lost most of the pregnancy weight before any body contouring procedure. A period of 6-12 months is reasonable. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice.
Best wishes and good luck,

Thank you for your question. I would recommend to wait 3-6 months after delivering and you finishing breast feeding.  To achieve more long lasting results, your weight should be stable and close to your ideal weight.  It is difficult to give an exact number since everybody does recover differently after a having a baby.I do recommend you being seeing and evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the areas you would like to have addressed.  Based on the surgical plan that will be developed specifically for you, the time line and post-operative instructions including limitations and activity restrictions will be discussed with you.Best wishes,Franziska Huettner

Thanks for your question. Patients usually have to wait around 6 months after giving birth and have also stopped breast feeding. Combination procedures can give powerful results but SAFETY is KEY.  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.  Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. based in you question is recommended after 7 month after delivery for the baby

Thanks for an excellent question, I would wait at least six months after delivery and at least three months after stopping breast feeding,  try to get to a stable weight which reflects fitness, health, and lifestyle.  Then seek the in person consultation with a plastic surgeon.  Good Luck.

It would be best to wait for about 6-12 months prior to having surgery. This will give your body time for any of the swelling to go down and for skin changes to finalize, and you may still be losing the weight from pregnancy. you should also consider the effect of breast feeding on your breasts (if you intend on breast feeding). Once you are ready you should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.

If you are finished having children you should wait 6 months after childbirth and breastfeeding before having surgery. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn what options are available to you. Good luck.

Recovery from an uncomplicated pregnancy and delivery varies from mommy to mommy.  I have had several patients who were not breast feeding complete the surgery after three months.  In my opinion, waiting six months gives the patient more time to return to her non-pregnancy weight and regain energy to go through the TT, BAM, and breast list.  Be sure that you have a good support system to help with the baby as you will not be able to do any strenuous lifting for 4-6 weeks after surgery.
