Although technically it is possible to do the treatment while breastfeeding, it is probably not the best choice. First of all, if antibiotics need to be prescribed, there may not be appropriate for the baby and therefore interfere with breast feeding.More importantly, breastfeeding often leads to weight loss and is likely to change some of the contours around the chin and neck and it makes sense to wait until you have stopped breastfeeding to have this type of treatment.
I prefer not to perform any plastic surgery procedures on pregnant or lactating patients. I think the baby's development is to take precedence during this time. It is possible that any medications administered during lipo may contaminate the milk. Enjoy this time with your baby.
Dear afrianadrodriguez,most plastic surgeons would recommend you to wait until you stop breastfeeding. 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

Thank you for your question and sharing your photographs. The images suggest that the liposuction has been slightly too effective in the lower part of the neck and has not contributed so much under the chin. One of the potential problems with repeat liposuction is that the skin under the chin...
"Injecting soft fillers like Belotero in this area can reduce lines, wrinkles and folds as well as improve skin texture with long-term collagen production. Fillers are being used more frequently to contour and lift rather than solely line fill. Of course, fillers are best used in combination...
At your age, liposuction will not cause your skin to sag. You still have enough elasticity that it should conform quite nicely over the new contour. However, I’m not sure you have enough fat to undergo liposuction. I might recommend getting a second opinion with an experienced board-certified d...
