Can I have a mommy make over without having my tubes tied?

Of course. A mommy makeover targets only your appearance and has no effect on your ability to have children. Getting your tubes tied before the surgery also does not have any impact. The only thing is that if you do happen to get pregnant after your mommy makeover, your results may be negatively affected. For that reason, you may want to consider getting your surgery once you’ve decided to no longer have children.

It is certainly not necessary to have your tubes tied before having a mommy make over.Most people don't want to have more pregnancies if they are having a mommy makeover, but there are other ways to avoid that and in any case if you were to fall pregnant, although it may spoil the results, it would probably not interfere with the pregnancy.Regards,

Absolutely.I would try to find a board certified plastic surgeon who has performed hundreds of these procedures and who has pictures and reviews you like.

Thank you for your question! While it is an option to combine such procedures, it's not necessary. Some women opt to have the tummy tuck at the same time in order to minimize healing time but it is completely normal and actually quite common for women to pursue a mommy makeover without getting their tubes tied. Good luck in your procedures!

Combined operations are often performed with our
Gynecology colleagues. Tubal ligation is a common post pregnancy procedure
which is done at the time of many of the surgeries noted above. If you require
a gynecologic operation or study (laparoscopy) and are considering a plastic
surgery procedure, discuss these issues with your doctor. Combining these
procedures decreases anesthetics, costs, and recovery time. It would be your decision as to whether or not to have your tubes tied, but be sure to discuss all of your questions and concerns with your doctors in order to determine the proper procedures.

No, you do not need to have your tubes tied with a mommy makeover. "Mommy makeover" is simply the nickname given to combination surgery which includes procedures designed to improve the appearance of your tummy and breasts. It can include tummy tucks (full, modified and mini) and breast surgery (enlargement, lift, lift with implants and reduction). Whatever it takes to restore your body back to the way it looked before pregnancy.

Great question.  Mommy Makeover usually consists of surgery for the breast and abdomen.  Ideally patients that want to have a Tummy Tuck should be finished having children as the muscles of the abdomen are tied creating a very tight core and abdomen. 

While having your tubes tied is not a requirement for Mommy Makeover surgery, you may want to complete your family and hold off surgery until you are sure. Pregnancy after surgery will certainly compromise your result. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

The answer is quite simply yes. The major concern is that if you do have children in the future, it may compromise any nice results you get from a tummy tuck. If you prefer to avoid getting your tubes tied, then that is perfectly okay.

Hello and thank you for your question. Yes, you can, as long as you are in good health.  If you are an appropriate candidate, a tummy tuck can be done
through a low and short incision, all completely below the bikini line.  The belly button can be designed to look
natural and have no scars on the exterior. 
Your muscles can also be plicated resulting in a flat abdomen.  A breast lift can be performed at the same
time for improved shape and contour of your breasts. Make sure you specifically
look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this
surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.  The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.
