I had a full tummy tuck and muscle repair in 2019 after two 4kg babies via c section. I am pregnant again, contraception failed. I am wanting to know if with minimal weight gain (excessive weight gain previously 50lbs gain in pregnancy) could I have a chance at saving my tummy tuck results and muscle repair. I will be due to deliver via c section again will this damage the muscle repair? Thank you

Answer: Pregnancy and tummy tukc Dear Peaceful1666, it is hard to tell for sure, but your body will most likely change during pregnancy and c-section. You can always get a revision surgery after delivery.

Answer: Pregnancy after tummy tuck. As less Weight changes during the pregnancy the abdominal stretching have lesser changes ( loose skin or weak muscles) As you are pointing in your question the best for maintaining your tummy tuck results is to try to control weight gain and this should done on a healthy way under the supervision of a OB/GYN. Nothing to be worry about for the c-section and the muscle repair , this will no affect it.
