How soon after giving birth can a mother get a bbl?
Dear getfit_2017,most plastic surgeons recommend to wait at least 6 months before getting a surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic 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).
