I want to pursue a BBL but need a tummy tuck. I am hesitant to have a tummy tuck because I am unsure if I am done having kids. Can I get a BBL without a tummy tuck? I don't mind the potential of excess skin but want good BBL results. My concern has always been lack of hips and butt. If i get a tummy tuck and have more kids, is it a waste of money?

Answer: Need a tummy tuck but might have more kids. Is it a waste of money to get surgery now? Hello and thank you for your question. If you are planning to have children in the near future, I would recommend delaying the tummy tuck because during pregnancy, recuts (abs) muscles and soft tissue are stretched and this can undo the results of a tummy tuck. You should still be able to undergo liposuction with BBL and sometimes mini tummy tuck can be performed at the same time to treat small amount of skin excess. I would recommend to obtain an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options and expectations. I hope this helps.Best, Dr. Karanetz Dr. Irena KaranetzFellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Tummy tuck Dear Exquisite44512, it is a probably better option to wait until you are done with pregnancies and then get a tummy tuck. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
