The pictures aren't very revealing but in general liposuction four months after delivery should be okay. After pregnancy however abdominal prominence may be more than just excess fat of the abdominal wall.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Liposuction may be reasonable.  Muscle repair may be reasonable.  The pictures are difficult to evaluate, and an exam would be more useful to make a determination.  Find
 a liposuction expert who
 performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year and has great reviews and great 
before and after pictures.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Robert M. Freund, MD · Answer

Liposuction is designed to improve shape and remove unwanted bulges. Liposuction will not change your overall body fat content. The change in shape is permanent, but the overall fat content will be unchanged over time. The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for liposuction, is to find a board certified plastic surgeon and allow them to evaluate your concerns and actual physical findings.Liposuction modalities are less important than the person performing the sculpting.Good luck!
