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.
