A responsible, reputable plastic surgeon will not perform liposuction on a pregnant woman. You should be sure that you have fully recovered from pregnancy. We usually recommend waiting a minimum of six months after delivery (and stopping breast feeding) before scheduling liposuction in order to give the body enough time to completely heal.
All elective procedures should be postponed until after pregnancy and breast feeding. The reasons behind it can be summarized: the issues you have with body shape during pregnancy will change after pregnancy you obviously want to be as safe as you can with your baby so why risk problems with medications
Physically, yes. But realistically, NO! Pregnancy is a time to focus on someone else. We get to focus on YOU later, but for now the focus is on the health of the child. You don't want to take anything, or have anything give to you, that can hurt your growing baby. Best of luck!
Hi, you shouldn't perform a liposuction during pregnancy. Remember that your safety always is going to be first. RegardsDr. Israel MañonCertified Plastic Surgeon
Yes, it can be done, but it shouldn't. Liposuction is an elective procedure and should not be performed while the patient is pregnant.
This would not be wise to undergo liposuction while pregnant. I don't know of any competent physician who would recommend it!
No, absolutely not. In addition a tummy tuck should not be performed at the same time as a c-section delivery, both are very bad ideas. The body changes tremendously during and after pregnancy, let your body regain its form and then decide if you would like to have a cosmetic procedure
Yes it can but no it shouldn't. All elective surgery should be post-poned until after delivery. There is a one in 200 incidence of birth deformities anyway. You might blame yourself the rest of your life thinking you caused it when you didn't. Any surgeon willing to do lipo on a pregnant patient should be avoided at all costs. Dr Foster
Congratulations on your pregnancy. As your body goes through the inevitable changes, it will take time for you to get used to your new shape. However pregnancy is not a suitable time for liposuction or any elective surgery. The most important reason to wait is to avoid exposing the baby to the anesthesia and stress of surgery. If your child were to have some problems at birth you might forever question the choice. Additionally your body can change so much during pregnancy that it would be the wrong time to make a body contouring decision.
There may still be some swelling. Surgery often dulls our memory and improve our eyesight. If your have concerns check back with you doctor, but I would recommend waiting a few more weeks to let all of the swelling and most of the healing become complete.
I think this is more skin than it is fat in which case liposuction will not get rid of the skin. Cutting out the skin would leave you with a visible scar since you do not have enough hair to cover it. I hope you realize that this format of posting questions and receiving answers lacks the...
Thank you for your question. It is normal to retain water weight and be swollen after liposuction surgery. If you have normal kidney function, your body will get rid of the extra fluid on its own as you heal. I hope this helps.
