Liposuction After C Section
While liposuction is considered safe for moms who have had c-sections, doctors usually recommend waiting at least six months before undergoing the procedure. It takes time for the body to get back to normal after having a baby, and plastic surgery should come after you have had the chance to heal completely. Most women with a cesarean delivery don’t usually need liposuction or a tummy tuck. However, in some cases, these procedures can help remove extra fat and scars from childbirth.
Women who have undergone cesarean sections are generally considered to be a safe candidate for liposuction. Before undergoing the surgery, we strongly suggest that you allow a minimum of six to nine months to pass. In this way, the body is given the opportunity to recover, and the scar from the C-section is given time to heal.
Liposuction After C-Section Cost
The liposuction price is determined by the number of areas to be treated and the type of liposuction performed.
For example, liposuction for c-section scars would depend on how many areas are being treated but is usually around $3,000 – $5,000 per area.
The average cost of liposuction in Turkey ranges between $2,000 and $5,000 per area. That will vary depending on your location, the surgeon’s experience, credentials, and the procedure performed.
When Can You Have A Tummy Tuck Or Liposuction After A C-Section?
Wait six weeks after a C-section before thinking about cosmetic surgery. This lets the incision fully heal, reducing the risk of issues like scarring or infection.
The six-week wait is essential for proper healing of the open wound from the skin cut. Waiting a few months before more procedures on your C-section incision is crucial to minimize complications.
Doing multiple procedures close together raises the risk of issues. Getting liposuction on your stomach and then getting breast augmentation two months later carries a higher risk. Comparing this risk to waiting six months between each procedure. This ensures your body has enough time to recover before the next one.
What To Expect During A Tummy Tuck
The surgery typically involves small incisions in the lower abdomen, but a single midline incision is also possible.
In the procedure, the surgeon removes fat from each side of your lower abdomen and transfers it to areas needing more fat. Doctors can remove your belly button, move organs, and close cuts with stitches or staples during surgery.
A week or two after surgery, you might have drains for fluids and wear an elastic belt around your waist to secure dressings. During recovery after liposuction, you’ll need help with daily activities, including household chores, for about six weeks.
Problems With Combining A Tummy Tuck Or Liposuction And Cesarean Delivery
Combining a tummy tuck with a cesarean delivery increases the risk of blood clots, leading to serious complications. If you’re considering an Hourglass Tummy Tuck and BBL after a c-section, discuss recovery options with your doctor to weigh the pros and cons.
Liposuction and C-section together avoid general anesthesia and extra procedures like tummy tuck, breast augmentation, or lift. Liposuction may be needed for excessive fat deposits and health conditions like diabetes or hypertension. Liposuction, usually elective, won’t directly impact baby delivery but carries risks, making a combination of procedures not recommended unless necessary.
Can You Get Pregnant After A Tummy Tuck?
You can get pregnant after a tummy tuck, but it’s best to wait at least one year after surgery. If you plan to be pregnant soon, wait until your body fully recovers.
After a tummy tuck, some doctors suggest avoiding exercise or weight loss for six months, depending on your healing and weight loss during surgery.
If you are thinking about pregnancy after cosmetic surgery like liposuction, breast augmentation, or lip enhancement/reduction, learn about the potential effects, especially if there were previous complications.
