Lipo on chin and arms quite soon after childbirth? Baby is two weeks old.

Question

I have a very important event in 6 weeks. I am really unhappy with my chin and arms (even before pregnancy) and really want to do something about them for this event. would it be unsafe to book in Lipo for these two areas ASAP, given that I am only two weeks postpartum?

Hello and thank you for your question!Congratulations on your baby!  You should wait at least 3 months to have any procedure. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best of luck!

I recommend a min of 3 months post partum since the body is going through changes. I would not rush to get smart lipo post partum as you will want to be closer to what your body is considers its baseline.  Also healing from smart lipo needs about 6-12 weeks and you won't be at your best yet when your even occurs.

Mark Edward Hennessy, MD · Answer

Most surgeons advise postponing liposuction for 3 - 9 months. Generally, this is sufficient time for a new mother to heal both physically and mentally, Also, postponing your procedure will yield better results and afford you time to obtain assistance with the care of your newborn while you are recovering from Lipo.I would recommend that you eat well, sleep well, exercise, and enjoy every second with your beautiful new baby.

After having a pregnancy, it gets involution and the fluid retention and weights reduce. This period is generally seems more in 3 months. Becouse of this, after pregnancy, it’s better not to do anything. It will not effect the health if nothing is done.
