How long to wait for a tummy tuck after giving birth?

 Thank you for the question. Based on your history and description, you will likely be a good candidate for “mommy makeover” surgery at some point.  Best to wait at least 6 months to one year prior to seeking consultation with board certified plastic surgeons. Ask to see lots of examples of their work and communicate your goals clearly as well. Make sure that you are aware that this operation is associated with a very significant physical and emotional recovery period. Generally speaking, the “ideal” patient for tummy tuck surgery is one who has completed pregnancies, is psycho socially/emotionally/financially stable, has an excellent social support system surrounding him/her, is capable of arranging enough recovery time, does not smoke and who has reached a long-term stable weight.  For most patients in your situation I also use liposuction surgery as a contouring tool, most often used in the flank areas, mid-epigastric areas and pubic areas. I hope this, and the attached link, helps.

Thank you for your question. I recommend you wait 1 year before having a tummy tuck. You should wait unhil you have reached a stable weight and stopped breast feeding. In Australia you need to wait a year before you can qualify for the Medicare item number. Kind regards, Vij Vijayasekaran 

Congratulations on having a baby!You should wait at least 6 months/or until your reach a stable weight before Abdominoplasty. It will remove your excess skin and some of your stretch marks. Seek an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon when you're ready
