If you are planning a pregnancy in the near future, most PS would advise you to wait until you are done having kids before opting for a tummy tuck.   A future pregnancy can undo the improvements from your tummy tuck and you will likely need some form of revisional surgery.

Gordon Lewis, MD · Answer

Tummy tuck surgery involves the removal of the excess skin and tightening of the muscles, both of which are caused during routine pregnancy.  If you were to get pregnant after a tummy tuck, he will lose the majority of the benefit of the operation.  Your skin will become stretched out again as will your muscles.If you are insistent on becoming pregnant and the short.  After tummy tuck, I would recommend waiting at least 6 weeks after surgery.
