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?

Hi, you shouldn't perform a liposuction during pregnancy. Remember that your safety always is going to be first.

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.
