I am currently 180lbs and 5”10. I had a cesarean on 6/14/18.
Answer: Post cesarean lipo timing If you're having abdominal lipo, I would recommend six months of healing beforehand. For other areas, 3 months would be sufficient. If you are breastfeeding, I would wait until you are done.

Answer: Post cesarean lipo timing Hello and thank you for your question. You will need to wait at least six months before having a liposuction procedure in the abdominal area if you have recently had a C-section. This will allow enough time for your body to heal before your liposuction procedure. If you are currently breastfeeding, you will need to wait until after you have stopped breastfeeding. Schedule an in-person consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area, have a full exam, and discuss your detailed goals with him or her. Good luck! - Jacqueline T. Cheng

Answer: Smart Lipo after C-section Adequate time for your tummy to shrink down is usually 3-6 months. Back and flanks may be sooner if weight loss has stabilized. If you are also breast feeding, you should wait until finished.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss your options and expectations.

Answer: Tummy Tuck after pregnancy Thank you for your question. Since you had a recent pregnancy, I would recommend to wait a minimum of 6 months (for breastfeeding, 9 months from the time you stop producing milk). If you are planning on having more children, it is best to wait until after your pregnancies to consider this procedure. I also recommend being at your ideal weight for best results.

Answer: Post C-section surgery Stability is the goal. It is always best to exhibit restraint in the post-partum period. This is due to the fact that your body is changing dramatically during this period. The hormonal fluctuation can alter size and shape widely during the immediate post-partum period and can continue through the period of nursing. Body contouring during this period is the equivalent of hitting a moving target. The optimal candidate for surgery has reached a healthy stable weight. In the setting of a recent pregnancy and delivery this stable weight can take some time to reach. A general rule of thumb is at least 6-9 months post-partum. If you choose to breast-feed through the first year of life you should allow at least three months following the discontinuation of breast-feeding before considering any procedures. While there may be variations in the recommendations from one physician to another, the goal is the same...stability. Thus a delay of 9 months or 3 months post cessation of breast feeding (whichever is longer...will ensure that you have reached a plateau). As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).
