How long should I wait to get a tummy tuck after pregnancy?

The best thing to do is to achieve your baseline weight prior to a tummy tuck. After having children, it may take 6 months to 1 year to lose the pregnancy weight (of course, each patient is different).

The best tummy tuck results are achieved when the patient is not planning on having any more children and they are at their baseline weight.
