How Long Should I Wait to Get a Tummy Tuck After Pregnancy?

I recommend my patients wait at least 6 months after giving birth. You will need to give your body some time to recover before undergoing major surgery. This will give your abdominal tissue a chance to heal completely before the operation. You won't be able to breastfeed after going under anesthesia or taking antibiotics /painkillers either. You will achieve a much better outcome if you wait until you lose the baby fat and reach your ideal weight as well. If you are considering getting pregnant again, it's best to postpone your operation until you are done having children. Best wishes.

Thank you for your question. You need to wait at least 6 to one year after breastfeeding.I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Thank you for your question.  I recommend that patients wait 6 months after pregnancy prior to undergoing tummy tuck surgery.  This will allow sufficient time for weight and tissue elasticity to stabilize, providing the most predictably good surgical outcome.
