Is 3 months after a c-section enough time to get a Tummy tuck?

You will get a variety of answers about how long to wait
after childbirth before having a tummy tuck. Most ethical plastic surgeons
would suggest waiting at least 6 months after delivering because:
Your body, including your abdomen is still
changing.
You may have not lost all of your pregnancy
weight.
You cannot lift the baby postoperatively for
weeks after a tummy tuck or “mommy makeover”. The number of
weeks depending on the extent of the procedures
performed.
You will need additional support at home to take
of the baby as well as you.
Most plastic surgeons suggest that you finish
having children, get your weight within 10 pounds of your ideal weight, and
have a BMI less than 30 before undergoing an abdominoplasty with repair of the
stretched out abdominal muscles and liposuction of selective areas, in order to
achieve the best long term cosmetic result with the least potential
complications
I would suggest that you find a plastic surgeon
certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the
American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) that you trust and are
comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.

Thanks for your questions. I would say wait at least 6 months. This way your body will be at a stable/normal weight. Be sure to find an experienced board certified plastic surgeon. It's also beneficial if the surgeon is an active member of ASPS and/or ASAPS.

Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. In my practice I recommend to wait at least 6 months after c-section to perform tummy tuck, these means when breastfeeding ends. If you aren't breastfeed and your post op is completely normal you can perform it. Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol.-
