63. Plastic Surgery & Pregnancy When Is It Safe To Get Work Done – Eos Rejuvenation (Sponsored)

After childbirth, many moms start wondering how they can enhance their physical appearance, allowing them to feel confident in their own skin or extend some of that pregnancy glow.

Women who have given birth can undoubtedly be good candidates for plastic surgery. Still, according to board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Nima Shemirani of Eos Rejuvenation in Beverly Hills, it is essential to wait an appropriate amount of time, ensuring the body is ready for the rigors of surgery.

When To Schedule Your Procedure

All moms are different, and their post-pregnancy recoveries can progress at varied timelines. For most, Dr. Nima recommends waiting three months before having any type of aesthetic surgery.

After cesarean or vaginal birth, it is vital to wait before considering a plastic surgery procedure for several reasons. Most importantly, this time allows the body to regain strength following childbirth and reduce the risk of complications during recovery. Additionally, moms may need to wean their babies or switch to formula before the surgery since both anesthesia and antibiotics can impact breast milk. For these reasons, Dr. Nima recommends that moms wait at least three months before considering a plastic surgery procedure and recommends consulting with their doctor first to determine the best plan of action tailored to their specific case.

The Advantages of Waiting

While it is perfectly natural to feel eager or impatient about transforming your appearance, there are ultimately many advantages to waiting.

One of the main benefits of waiting a year or so before having surgery is that recovery from plastic surgery requires a fair amount of downtime, and most patients will need to rest and heal for a week or more. Peace and quiet may be hard to come by when you have a baby in the house, but not as challenging as juggling your recovery with newborn sleep cycles, breastfeeding, and the like.

But the main reason to delay surgery is for your general health and wellness. Giving birth to a baby is no small thing; it will weaken your body for several weeks or even months.

Talk to Your Doctor

Ultimately, the best way to evaluate your readiness for plastic surgery is to talk to your doctor. Your readiness depends on your unique recovery timeline, which only you and your medical provider can determine.
