How Soon After Giving Birth Can I Have a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover can be an ideal procedure for women who want to restore and renew areas of the body that have been altered by pregnancy, breastfeeding, and the general effects that raising children can have on one’s appearance. With all the benefits that a Mommy Makeover can offer, Dr. Daniel C. Mills usually advises women to wait a minimum of three to six months and finished breastfeeding before undergoing this procedure.

There are a number of reasons why individuals should give it some time before any plastic surgery is performed following pregnancy. In many cases, the breasts, abdomen, and skin are still changing for several months after childbirth. This is particularly the case for women who are breastfeeding. Ultimately, it’s often best to wait until the milk ducts are no longer producing milk, and until the body has mostly “settled” in terms of physical adjustments after pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Dr. Mills also typically recommends that patients wait to have a Mommy Makeover procedure until after they have completed their families. This can ensure that the results of certain treatments—such as tummy tuck surgery, breast enhancement, and liposuction—are not affected by a future pregnancy.

Every individual is different, and every Mommy Makeover procedure is customized based on the specific treatments that are chosen.
