Answer: If your hernia is asymptomatic, wait until you are finished having children. Thank you for your question. Most plastic surgeons recommend waiting until you are finished having children before getting a tummy tuck, as your results might be undone by a future pregnancy. However, if your hernia is causing symptoms, you should have it treated separately. If the hernia is not causing any symptoms or discomfort, waiting until after your final pregnancy to have the tummy tuck with hernia correction can ensure that you have long-lasting results. Good luck.

Answer: Tummy Tuck - Wait until after next pregnancy? Thank you for your question.For patients who know that they would like to have children in the near future I would recommend waiting to have a tummy tuck. The recommendation to wait is based upon the fact that a future pregnancy can affect the cosmetic result obtained with a tummy tuck and potentially stretch out the skin and muscles that had been tightened surgically. It is important to note however that a tummy tuck will not affect a future pregnancy.As for your hernia, if it is symptomatic and causing discomfort I would recommend treatment now but if it is asymptomatic and your concern is strictly cosmetic is nature I would recommend waiting until you are finished having children.I hope that you find this helpful and I wish you all of the best.

Answer: Should I have a diastasis recti and umbilical hernia repair before or after my next pregnancy? If you're not having umbilical pain and the hernia can always be pushed back in, there is no urgency in repairing it. Diastasis recti alone is not a medical problem and does not cause any harm except for the obvious abdominal distention. If all is well, complete your pregnancies and have everything repaired through a tummy tuck in the future. #StayBeautiful @RealDrWorldWide
