Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Possible Yes, Recommended No it is technically possible to safely undergo this procedure at least one month after giving birth. Safety includes a decreased risk of blood clots and other complications. However, combining two very stressful things, such as a new child and major cosmetic surgery, is typically ill-advised as this can cause undue physical and mental stress leading to less favorable outcomes. Furthermore, at one month postpartum you are likely still losing weight. You will need to complete weight loss prior to proceeding with any contouring procedure for the optimal results.

Answer: Facelift No, do not try and have a mini-lift this soon after delivery. One, you still very busy with the baby and are bending your neck a great deal. Two, the hormones from pregnancy are still affecting your skin and the levels needs to settle down to normal. Three, if you are breast feeding, you should have no surgery.

Answer: Is possible & safe to have a mini facelift 1 month after giving birth? Hello @loony135, thank you for your question. It is not recommended to undergo a mini facelift or any elective cosmetic surgery procedure so soon after giving birth. It is important to give your body time to recover fully from childbirth, and your hormone levels and body shape may still be changing during this time. It is recommended that you wait at least 6 months after breastfeeding before considering any elective cosmetic surgery procedure. This will give your body enough time to fully recover and stabilize before undergoing any procedures. It is important to discuss your concerns and goals with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can assess your individual situation and recommend the best course of action for you. Best wishes!

Answer: Mini face lift after giving birth There is no contraindication of doing limited facial surgery of that kind early after giving birth. This type of surgery is usually done in twilight or even local anesthesia. You should discuss this issue with a board certified plastic surgeon, expert in face lifts. Good luck.
