I have only a small amount of lax skin to be excised. Diastasis is mild and surgeon says a mini tummy tuck with muscle repair below the bellybutton will be fine. However I am a bit concerned if I fall pregnant again as not sure if will have more kids (prob not). What will happen if I do? Will I develop stretchmarks? I don't mind doing revision surgery for a compromised result but this won't address stretchmarks or significant muscle damage

Answer: Pregnancy After TT Thank you for your question.If you aren't sure whether or not you want another child, it is ok to go ahead with an abdominoplasty. Just know that if you do get pregnant again, you may get the muscles stretched out again and develop loose skin/stretch marks and need a revision. It's hard to predict how a woman's body reacts to pregnancy and who will need a revision and who will not.If you are planning on having another child, I recommend waiting until after you are done child bearing to get the best result that will be the longest lasting. Best of luck!

Answer: Mini tummy tuck Thank you for your question. If you have the mini tummy tuck and become pregnant again, there is really no telling what effect it will have on your body. Of course your skin and muscles will be stretched, but there is no telling the degree of damage. If your muscles and skin need repairing after another pregnancy and you are certain about not having more children after that, a full tummy tuck could be a realistic possibility for you.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL
