Actually, if you are interested in a tummy tuck you should speak to your cosmetic surgeon about performing both procedures simultaneously; otherwise 6 to 8 weeks.

Best to wait until your gynecologist thinks you are OK. It;s good they found this before surgery. Sometimes the procedures can be done at the same time. At Morristown Medical center we have some great Gynecologic surgeons that are available to coordinate with our plastic surgeons. However some case are best done separately, Good luck...

Once you have fully recovered -- probably 2 months or so and then you 
can have the tummy tuck. When your gyn says full activities are fine -- 
surgery will be ok.
