It's suggested to wait at least 6 months after pregnancy to undergo a Mommy Makeover. Additionally, your weight should also be stable for at least 6 months. #Combining these procedures decreases anesthetics, costs, and recovery time.  Most importantly, your procedures should be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for a revision surgery. It is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision. All surgical procedures carry some degree of #risk. Always discuss your issues and concerns with the Plastic Surgeon during and following your consultation.

This is a judgment call but I would be slightly reluctant operate on a mother two months after childbirth. However if you're medically stable it's certainly not the wrong thing to do.

Most patients I see are not ready for “mommy makeover” surgery 2 months after delivery. If in doubt,  postpone your surgery; best to give your body a chance to bounce back and your infant the chance to know her mother, before putting yourself through the stress of a major operation. Best wishes.

Congratulations on your new addition to your family. If you Dresher plastic surgery judgment and he or she has deemed you ready two months after delivery of your baby then you must trust that judgment.  I typically like to wait at least three to six months after delivery of a child before performing any body contouring surgery.Good look.Earl Stephenson Jr, M.D. DDS FACS

Congratulations
on the new baby.  I advise
women that surgery should be done no earlier than 6 months post-partum and that
they be back at their pre baby weight or within 20 lbs. of their ideal weight.  This gives the surgeon a realistic idea of
what the patient is trying to achieve. This will also ensure proper healing
geared directly to their cosmetic procedure(s) and not to the healing that is
currently taking place following a pregnancy. Speak with your surgeon and be
direct with your questions as to what type of result you can expect following
your surgery.
