Its best to re-establish an ideal body weight following pregnancy prior to contemplating another tummy tuck. Once at your goal weight; you will determine if additional skin tightening is needed. I recommend you see a board certified plastic surgeon for an examination. During your consult, discuss if your muscles and skin need to be re-tightened. If only skin needs tightening clarify the differences between what your surgeon defines as a mini-abdominoplasty versus full abdominoplasty. more
