When to Stop Nursing to Have Mommy Makeover?

NicoleNYJan 5, 2010

I live in New York and the Doctor I want to consult with is in Orlando. I do not want to make several flights. I am breast feeding my fourth child and I am in dire need of a Mommy makeover: Breast Augmentation, Tummy Tuck etc.How long do I need to stop nursing to consult and have surgery? I want to combine procedures. Is a virtual consultation an option? On a side note I just had EVLT done today on some veins in my legs. Will that effect how long I need to wait? Thank you in advance.

Thanks for your question! You will need at least 6 weeks to heal. No lifting greater than 10 lbs. or vigorous exercise for 6 weeks. Check with your surgeon before resuming your regular activities. Best wishes!
