Should I Wait to Get Liposuction Until I'm Done with Breastfeeding?

March 21, 2012
Asked By:goddesscomplex in Chicago, IL

I am contemplating liposuction w.fat transfer, but am currently breastfeeding. I breastfeed the first 2 yrs & my infant will be 1 1/2 yrs old around the time of the procedure. It seems that the preference is to wait till you're done breastfeeding due to hormonal issues. Does this apply to advanced stages of nursing? What sort of influence will it have on the procedure if I have it done? Lastly, how long will I need to pump & discard before resuming breastfeeding?
