Hello and Great Question.  I appreciate the time you are spending researching this procedure.  My name is Dr. Matthew J. Nykiel.  I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellowship Trained Cosmetic Surgeon, and a Butt Augmentation Specialist.

Typically, at least 6 weeks but preferably at least 3 months.  The main things we are looking for is swelling to decrease and body weight to stabilize out.Best of Luck!  Please reach out if you have any further questions or concerns.

Thanks for the question. Based on them I think that you will benefit from a combined surgery which should include: Vaser liposuction for your back, love handles and tummy tuck area. Tummy Tuck surgery, Fat injection for your butt. I wish you all the best.

Congrats on your newest arrival! It is best to wait 6 months after having your baby. This allows your body to go back to its pre-baby weight and the swelling and fluid retention will have gone away as well. After that time you can go ahead and set up a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over your goals. Hope this helps,Dr. Newall

Most patients will need at least 3 months following delivery.  Some patients may need more time than that.

Thank you for your question and congratulations! You should wait around 6 months when you reach an stable weight. That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Thank you for your question.

I would recommend that you wait 6-12 months after you finish breast feeding for optimal results.  This will give your body adequate time to heal and recover and get back to pre-pregnancy weight.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You can be a candidate for plastic surgery, six months after you have stopped breastfeeding, when your hormones have normalized.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

Ricardo Ventura, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question. You should wait from six to nine months for any plastic surgery. Good luck.

Ron Hazani, MD, FACS · Answer

congratulations! I would recommend waiting 3-6 months after having a baby. Then, schedule an in person consultation for re-evaluation. Good luck.

First, congratulations! Your body just did something truly amazing. It would be best to wait a minimum of six months after having a baby. This will give your body time to get back to its baseline. You also may want to avoid having the procedure while you're breast-feeding to avoid passing on the anesthetic medications in your breastmilk if you're breast-feeding. Finally, you may want to consider the logistics of recovering from surgery while taking care of a newborn or infant - taking pain medication, being restricted from driving while on pain medication, and not being able to put pressure on your buttocks for a minimum of  six months will affect how you care for your child.
