Tummy Tuck: Prices, Photos, Reviews, Info, Q&A

If you already have a plan for another baby, you should wait. If you do not have plans, then there is no particular reason to postpone your tummy tuck. There is no specific recommendation regarding how long you should wait after tummy tuck to have another baby. Certainly it would be best to wait at least a year after tummy tuck to have another baby, but even that might be too soon. There have been many patients that have have had a tummy tuck in my practice that have gone on to have another baby, and very few of them have required revision surgery.

Yes, you can have a get pregnant after a tummy tuck. However, it is in your best interest to wait until you are done having kids.

A previous tummy tuck procedure should not prevent you from becoming pregnant if you are healthy and desire another child. I would advise you to wait at least 12 months following tummy tuck before becoming pregnant again. In my 18 years as a plastic surgeon, I’ve had several patients who choose to have more children following a tummy tuck and they have all delivered healthy babies.

You most certainly can have a baby following a tummy tuck. For patients who have a large amount of excess skin, I recommend a tummy tuck if they plan to wait many years before having a child. Typically these patients do not require muscle tightening. For a mother that may have another baby in the next few years I recommend waiting to have their tummy tuck.

Generally speaking women wait till they have completed their family before having a tummy tuck. However, life is not always so neat and for sure. I have had patients have children after their tummy tucks and have look amazingly good afterward as well as no pregnancy problems. If this is your choice, then I would wait at least 6 months after the surgery to assure complete healing of your muscles.

Yes, you can have a baby after a tummy tuck, but if you think that you may have more children, wait until after the last pregnancy (or until you are confident that you will have no more) to pursue a tummy tuck.

Patients can certainly have children safely after having a tummy tuck. Some patients will rebound very nicely and not need additional procedures. Others, may need additional liposuction or body contouring. Financially, it is better to wait until you are done having children.

It is safe to have a baby after tummy tuck. You would want to be healed from your tummy tuck surgery before getting pregnant (4-6 months) but there is no reason not to have more children.

If you don’t see yourself having another baby for the next two years, I would recommend proceeding with your tummy tuck. Any sooner, I think you would be wasting your money on a body contouring procedure that you would have for such a limited time. Now accidents do happen, and you would not harm yourself by getting pregnant shortly after having a tummy tuck. Luckily babies grow over a period of nine months and would gradually stretch your skin back out.

You can have a baby after a tummy tuck. It is however not advised due to the internal stitches and skin being removed and pulled tight. This procedure is generally for those who have decided they are no longer going to bear children.

If you plan to or are considering having another child, you should hold off having a tummy tuck. Pregnancy can alter the results of a tummy tuck and in some cases, require a second surgery to achieve the same results again. It would be most effective to wait until you are positive you do not want to have anymore children before deciding to undergo this procedure.

There is absolutely no problem getting pregnant after a tummy tuck. I recommend my patients to wait until they are done having kids, but the patients that decide to have another kid usually don’t lose their results if they only gain the weight that is recommended during pregnancy.

You can definitely have a baby after a tummy tuck. You should make sure you’re fully recovered from your tummy time before considering having children. This can take about six months however you should ask your surgeon as everyone has different recovery rates.

I usually recommend finishing having children before getting a tummy tuck because your results may be adversely affected. However the choice is up to you.

Pregnancy is possible after a tummy tuck and it does not complicate the pregnancy at all. The baby will re-stretch the skin an muscles and may worsen stretch marks than before, and re-tightening is more difficult the second time with lesser results. It is best to wait until after childbearing to have your tummy tuck done once.

It is not harmful to you to have a baby after a prior tummy tuck but if possible it would be best to wait until you are sure you are done having children. The risk is that a pregnancy will stretch out the skin and muscles and “undo” some of the benefit of the surgery.

Having a tummy tuck will not interfere with future pregnancies. However, the pregnancy will stretch out your abdomen again. Most women actually do well after tummy tucks with pregnancies, especially if they watch their weight gain and are not have twins.

The tummy tuck will not interfere with the baby’s growth. There may be a few women who will need a revision after having all the children they want.
