Mini Tummy Tuck Straight After C-section?

I would not recommend a mini tummy tuck at the time of your c-section. There is potential that muscle work would need to be done with your mini tummy tuck to give you the best results and this would not be apparent until you are at least a few months out from having the baby and your uterus has returned to its pre-pregnancy size. Also, there is an increased risk of infection and complications if these procedures are combined. Lastly, I recommend a board certified plastic surgeon perform your mini tummy tuck and not your obstetrician. 

Although it sounds like a great time and convenient way to get your abdomen back to its natural state, it is best to wait. The complication rate is higher when combining these procedures and the results aren't as good because your abdominal wall needs time for your uterus to return to its normal size before a real assessment as to what exactly needs to be done can be determined. I suggest waiting at least 3 months before doing the mini tuck. My preference is wait 6 months so I can assess the skin as well and your tummy will have recovered enough from the initial scar of the c section to make a good assessment. 

Mini tuck is a great way to rid of loose skin below the belly button
area. However, we DO NOT recommend any kind of cosmetic surgery of the abdomen during C-section. Its better to focus on your baby. After you have recovered from the pregnancy, look for a qualified plastic surgeon and book a paid consult. Experience, training, and results matters a lot during mini tuck. Non Plastic surgeons (cosmetic surgeons)
tend to charge less than Plastic Surgeon. Do your
research and find a real Plastic Surgeon and book a paid consultation.
Free consults are just a sales pitch and does not work in your best
interest. Below are other criteria to
use when selecting a Plastic surgeon.Questions to ask (Answering NO is a big red flag)1) Are you a plastic surgeon? (Do you know difference between cosmetic surgeon & plastic surgeon)2) Are you board certified in Plastic Surgery?3) Will the procedure be performed at a fully accredited procedure room or ambulatory surgery center4) Do you have hospital privilege to perform liposuction and tummy tuck? Which Hospital?5) Do you offer complication insurance (it does happen, it better to be safe)The
most important decision is to do your homework well. Good
luck.
