Can Lipo Be Done on Pregnant Women

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!
