After getting a BBL. If I get pregnant, will it affect my stomach?

Question

If i get a BBL. And 1 to 2 years later i get pregnant will it affect my stomach? As in likely to get more strech marks since my waist will become very tiny? Or get loose skin?. I already have a child and didn't get loose skin and my strech marks are not bad like a 3/10. But since im getting a BBL will my stomach react different?

Having liposuction of the abdomen prior to pregnancy should not necessarily worsen skin.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA

Thank you for your question!  Getting pregnant post having a BBL may not affect how your stomach "reacts" to the pregnancy as in skin elasticity or stretch marks, but you can never be too sure with the human body and how it will heal.  Also, as we age, our skin elasticity increases.  So, even though after your first pregnancy you did not have loose skin, and did not have bad stretch marks, it doesn't mean this couldn't happen after a second pregnancy, even regardless if you have a Brazilian Butt Lift procedure prior to this pregnancy.   Consult a board certified plastic surgeon about your BBL procedure and your concerns about the skin after another pregnancy!

​Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
After liposuction, the areas treated are not likely to regain fatty fullness, as many fat cells have been removed. These areas have reduced fat storage capacity.
However, if weight gain occurs, the fat will be mostly stored in areas that have not been liposuctioned. ​It's hard to know for sure how weight gain will affect your body, ​this is why you should try to eat healthy and exercise on a regular basis, so you can maintain the results long term.
Hope this helps. Good luck :)

It's hard to predict how your body will bounce back after pregnancy. Age and weight gain during pregnancy are two determining factors. Consult a plastic surgeon in your area to discuss in more detail.Good luck!

You will not change your sides, but your front may get stretched out again especially if you gain lots of weight. Please make a consultation to discuss details of your surgery.
