Is it safe to have a tummy tuck 6 months after giving birth through C-section?
Answer: Tummy Tuck 6 Months After Giving Birth? Thank you for the question. Based on your history and description, you will likely be a good candidate for “mommy makeover” surgery at some point. Best to wait at least 6 months to one year prior to seeking consultation with board certified plastic surgeons. Ask to see lots of examples of their work and communicate your goals clearly as well. Make sure that you are aware that this operation is associated with a very significant physical and emotional recovery period. Generally speaking, the “ideal” patient for tummy tuck surgery is one who has completed pregnancies, is psycho socially/emotionally/financially stable, has an excellent social support system surrounding him/her, is capable of arranging enough recovery time, does not smoke and who has reached a long-term stable weight. For most patients in your situation I also use liposuction surgery as a contouring tool, most often used in the flank areas, mid-epigastric areas and pubic areas. I hope this, and the attached link, helps.

Answer: No defined time for tummy tuck after delivery This is highly controversial and this is why you will get many different answers. There are some surgeons, a small minority, who perform these at the time of the c-section. The vast majority of plastic surgeons prefer to wait until you have achieved a stable weight, however long that takes..

Answer: You Could If.... If you are done having children and you are at your target weight, you can consider having abdominoplasty at this time. You need to make arrangements at home to help care for the baby while you recover.

Answer: Wait a minimum of 6 months Six months should be fine, as long as you do not plan on having any more kids and you are able to set aside 10-14 days for your recovery. Having a new baby to care for, as you probably already know, takes a lot of energy, so just make sure you have the time to recover and help at home with the kids.

Answer: Tummy tuck after pregnancy Six months after their last pregnancy is perfect timing for women to have a tummy tuck. The deep layer (fascia) has tightened and patients have had some time to lose their baby weight. Patients should try to get some help if possible for the two weeks after surgery since lifting the baby will be more difficult. Also if they are contemplating breast surgery at the same time they should have stabilized after ceasing breast feeding.
