How long after giving Birth can I get Smart Lipo?

Question

Marco A. Pelosi III, MD, FACOG, FACS · Answer

If you've had a cesarean, wait 6 months for lipo at or around the abdomen. If not, 3 months should be sufficient for your pregnancy changes to revert back to normal. If you're breastfeeding, wait until your done before undergoing lipo.

Keith Denkler, MD · Answer

A wait of about six months before surgery is about right.  After your child there are too many changes in your hormones and life to have early surgery.  Enjoy your child, get them to a more stable place, and work on getting yourself back  in shape, and then have your Smartlipo.

Paul J. Leahy, MD · Answer

Thanks for your inquiry. I would encourage you to lose a majority of your pregnancy weight before any surgery like this. You will need to allow for some soreness & bruising after the procedure as well. If excess skin is your problem, then a tummy tuck is a better choice for you. Best wishes.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

I think that it is best to get close to your pre-pregnancy weight, and give it at least 4-6 months after delivery before considering a surgical procedure.

Carlos Burnett, MD, FACS · Answer

You should wait for 6-8 months before considering a Smartlipo procedure. Your post pregnancy weight loss should be almost complete at this time.
