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

First, make sure you do not have any plans for any more kids. A future pregnancy will potentially reverse the benefits of your tummy tuck. I generally recommend waiting at least 3-6 months. I would like my patient's weight to stabilize to get her the best results.
