Answer: Tummy tuck after c-section I would recommend waiting about 6 months after you stop breast feeding if you are doing so. If you are not breast feeding, you can have a tummy tuck about 6 months after the delivery as long as you have regained your pre-pregnancy health and body condition.

Answer: How long should I wait to get a tummy tuck after a c-section? I would recommend waiting for 6 months following your C-section as you need time to recover from that surgery first. This will also allow your body to return to its pre-pregnancy state which will give you an optimal result. Keep in mind, following your tummy tuck and during your recovery, there will be lifting restrictions for a period of time so you may want to have child care in place for your new baby. Consult with a Board Certified Plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

Answer: Wait at least 6 months after delivery to have a tummy tuck It's best to wait until you have fully healed from delivery and your muscle tone has returned before having a tummy tuck. If you are lucky, this may happen in 3 months, but for most women it takes 6-12 months. It it is a strenuous surgery, and you won't be able to lift anything over 10 or 15 pounds for 6-8 weeks after the procedure, so keep that in mind too since you may have to arrange for help around the house or for your children while you recover. good luck!

Answer: How long should I wait to get a tummy tuck after a c-section? Hi. Give your skin a chance to recuperate from the pregnancy. The skin will continue to get a bit tighter on its own. Rule of thumb at our institute is 6-10 months. Good luck
