Body contouring is a topical method of removing fatty tissues and excess fat from the body with minimum side effects.

One of the reasons why many mothers are hesitant to use such topical techniques is the potential risks. Body contouring in the past was performed under general anesthesia, which had higher potential risks, however, today with the use of local anesthesia, the risks have significantly reduced. Body contouring, on the other hand, considerably reduces the possibility of bleeding and the risks associated to it because fat is removed from the body using physical blows. This treatment has a short recovery time, and you may be back in your child's arm very quickly. With that stated, you should consider few things before having this surgery. It takes a relativly long time to go back to normal since your body has changed over the period of nine months. Therefore, any topical fat-burning therapy should be delayed until after breastfeeding. It's also better to avoid this procedure and give birth at the same time, because giving birth comes with its own risks and difficulities, and having both operations at the same time puts you at a greater risk.
