Should I get a tummy tuck if I have not had kids yet? (photos)

Please wait at least 6 months after your surgery to assess your results. Your body may still need to heal and you may find that you continue to see improvements. Also, continue to follow your post-op instructions closely. At the 6 month mark, if you still see the loose skin, please speak with your surgeon to discuss what can be done to achieve the results you want.

If you are planning on having children, wait until you have had all the children you want and then do the tummy tuck. You might consider minimally invasive skin tightening with radiofrequency, like ThermiTight, for now.

Typically it is recommended that you wait until you have finished having children before considering a tummy tuck as future pregnancies can alter your results. You may consider BodyTite which uses RF technology to tighten skin up to 40%. The procedure does not require general anesthesia and there is no long scar. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to determine if this procedure is right for you.
