I had my baby naturally. Can I get BBL and Lipo 360? He’s 3 months old

Question

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

You should probably wait at least 3 months, but this is dependent upon a number of variables such as returning to your post-pregnancy weight, full recovery from the vaginal birth, resumption of breastfeeding when all medications are no longer within the bloodstream.   Coordinate with your OB/GYN and your PS for the best time to schedule the BBL and lipo 360.

Francis Johns, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.Are you planning on having more children? Are you back to your pre-baby weight? You want to make sure your weight is stable prior to surgery. If you plan on losing more weight then I would do so prior to surgery. Keep in mind if you are planning on more kids, then should wait until you are done having kids to do the surgery to help maintain your result.

Donovan Rosas, MD · Answer

When considering the timing of cosmetic surgery, it is important to note that the longevity of the result is dependent upon your post op stability. Significant changes in weight can alter results. These changes are difficult to predict but they may require revisionary surgery.
Thus, when considering post-pregnancy surgery one must understand the best candidate for surgery has reached a healthy stable weight pre-op which they plan to maintain post op. This can take several months to achieve in the post partum period. 
Recommendations will vary but most patients will stabilize (hormonally) by 9-12 months post partum or 3 months after the cessation of breast feeding (whichever is longer). Allowing adequate time to plateau will make you a better candidate.
There is no absolute with regards to timing. Stability is more important than time. Some patients may  need longer to reach a plateau while others will get there faster.
As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Hello,It is usually best to wait 6 months after giving birth to have this surgery but that is not always the case. I recommend a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to further guide you.All the best,Dr. BlaggAustin, TX
