Can I Have Children After a Mini Tummy Tuck?

A mini tummy tuck is not a good option for alot of loose skin. Especially if it is loose above the belly button. If you read here, you will see plenty of people who were unhappy with their decision to proceed with a mini instead of a full tuck. The mini is great for an unsightly c-section scar with modest skin laxity, no stretch marks and minimal muscle separation.

The issue with a tummy tuck and pregnancy is that you will restretch the skin and muscles once you get pregnant again.  As a rule of thumb in my practice, I prefer to wait until my patient is done having children before recomending a tummy tuck, although on occasion patients will want the full tummy tuck done even though they may be considering additional children.  For the patient in between children who absolutely wants improvement from their baseline, a mini-tummy tuck may be a good option.  Most likely, after you have your last child, you would want to get a full tummy tuck procedure.
