Best delivery method after having Tummy Tuck?

Question

I had a tummy tuck 7 years ago and just found out I was pregnant. I also just had liposuction 6 months ago on my love handles. My stomach is still pretty tight and in tact. My question is what delivery method will have better results on my TT? Vaginal or csection? And will I gain weight back In the areas I had liposuctioned?

Dear choclatelauraYour safety and newborn's well being take precedence over any aesthetic concern. In case your OB recommends a C-section, it can be done through your TT incision. Otherwise, there are no other general medical concerns.

Thanks for your question. Please follow the instructions provided by your OBGYN. He or she knows best in what delivery method will work best to ensure a healthy baby. Good luck with your delivery! As for the tummy tuck, you may need a revision tummy tuck, but it will be best to wait 3-6 months after delivering.

Earl Stephenson, Jr., MD, DDS, MBA · Answer

In my opinion, your tummy tuck  should not have any bearing on whether you need a C-section or vaginal delivery for your baby. That should be dictated by the course of your pregnancy and the best method of delivery for a healthy baby. Congratulations and best wishes!
