For fat transfers, the process will work to help you both before and after pregnancy, so you should choose when you would like this performed.

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

I appreciate your question.

Yes, I would recommend that you finish having children prior to undergoing elective surgery.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Best of luck!
