Will the baby and wall muscles be able to grow properly if I have sutures in my muscles? Will it cause more damage to my muscles?

Answer: Pregnancy after tummy tuck
Yes, Ashely, you can have children after a tummy tuck with rectus diastasis repair. But obviously, the pregnancy will stretch your abdominal skin and muscles. After your delivery, your stretched abdominal area will shrink back towards normal, but it's hard to predict how much it will shrink. It may take up to a year for this process to occur, so I would wait at least one year after delivery before considering a revision of your tummy tuck. I hope that helps. All the best!

Answer: Pregnancy after Repair of Diastasis Recti?
Thank you for the question.
Generally speaking, patients are able to have normal pregnancies after tummy tuck surgery or repair of diastasis recti.
Depending on weight gain/loss, changes in skin elasticity, genetics etc. revisionary surgery may be necessary after the pregnancy.
This is a situation where only time will tell.
Best wishes.

I have at least two patients who had a successful pregancy and delivery after tummy tuck. They have not encountered any specific issues nor have they come back for a redo, one came back for a breast procedure.

Answer: Pregnancy After Diastasis Rectus Muscle Repair
The slow stretching forces of pregnancy will have no problem expanding the rectus muscles, even if they have been surgically repaired by permanent sutures. Getting pregnant after a tummy tuck is not rare and they all go on to a successful pregnancy and delivery.
