I’m considering a thigh lift (inner thighs) and breast lift. I don’t necessarily want implants but understand it might be needed to shape them. I’m 31 not had any children and don’t plan on it for a few years. I would like a mummy makeover but thought thighs and boobs would be best pre kids. Can anyone advise if this is a good idea? Also looking at going to Thailand to get procedures done. Thank you!
Answer: Timing If you are planning to begin a family soon then it is best to wait to have these procedures until after you have completed your family as pregnancy can alter your surgical results. If you are wanting to wait on having children for awhile or just want to enjoy the benefits of these procedures now you can have them at any time. Just be aware a revision may be needed after pregnancy.

Answer: Surgery The thigh lift could be done pre or post children, but the breast lift is best done after you have had all the children you want. If you live in Thailand, then have your surgery there. Otherwise, find a surgeon in your area so you can have follow-up visits and someone to see should a complication arise.

Answer: Not necessarily recommended Dear HJane11.11, You don't mention why you think you need a breast and thigh lift. Did you lose a lot of weight? I don't recommend any kind of lifting prior to having children as weight and hormonal fluctuations can affect all of it. As far as going out of the country for surgery....... very risky in my opinion. What happens if you have a complication after you return? Getting a doctor to deal with another doctor's complication can be very difficult.

Answer: Breast lift and a thigh lift Hello, thank you for your question. If you decide to do those procedures prior to child bearing that is completely fine. Keep in mind you may need a post surgical like after depending on number of factors. If you are thinking about getting pregnant in the next 1-2 years than maybe worthwhile to post surgery until after. Just be cautious undergoing surgery in a foreign country. I would not recommend that. There are lot of risk factors both during surgery and post operatively that you should consider.

Answer: Wait Until After Children The best thing to do would be to wait until after children to have these procedures. Childbearing is associated with significant weight gain and loss for most women and this will change the elasticity of their skin, the shape of their bodies, and their overall appearance. Having surgery before this is likely to compromise your results. In any surgery, I would suggest having surgery with a board certified plastic surgeon in the USA in order to ensure that you are receiving the highest level of care.

Answer: Thigh lift & breast lift Dear HJane11.11, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
