When to Stop Nursing to Have Mommy Makeover?

Thank you for your question. I usually recommend that my patients wait at least six months after completely stopping breastfeeding before undergoing a Mommy Makeover. This allows your body time to settle into a stable weight. As far as traveling from NY to Orlando for surgery, I don’t recommend it. You would need to stay in Orlando for at least two weeks post-surgery to recover enough to travel back home, and if you encountered complications later, you would need to return to your surgeon in Orlando for treatment. And while some surgeons will do a virtual consultation, a Mommy Makeover is a significant procedure - one that absolutely needs to involve an in-person consultation. I recommend that you find a board certified plastic surgeon in your area who is experienced in Mommy Makeover procedures. In the long run, the results will be worth it. Best, Dr. Verbin

My short answer is that I would wait a minimum of 3 or more months from when your breasts stop shrinking AND following cessation of breast feeding.

You would need to wait at least three months before having any type of breast surgery.  You need to allow your breast shape and size to make their final change.  Most surgeons will do phone consultations as long as you send photos.
