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.

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
