It is not safe to have a tummy tuck immediately after C-section

Brooke R. Seckel, MD answers: Is it safe to perform tummy tuck surgery right after a C-section?

Can I get a tummy tuck right after I give birth via c-section?

Wait a year before having a

tummy tuck

after a c-setion and it is best to wait until you are done having children.

It takes a year for your tissues to return to normal after childbirth. Your result will be much better after a year.

My opinion is that it is not safe to do the tummy tuck at the time of childbirth
