Is it possible to carry a child 3-5 years after Tummy Tuck?

Thanks for your question. Yes, you can have children after a tummy tuck. The circulating hormones of pregnancy will once again allow your tissues to relax. The only caveat is that you may then eventually want to have a second tummy tuck. That is why most women wait until after childbearing. Tummy tucks can be repeated if needed.If you become pregnant let your OB know. Your OB will be better prepared should you need a c section.Best wishes.

Hello and thank you for your question.  A tummy tuck will not have any adverse effects on the health of any future children.  The reason we sometimes recommend waiting until after you are done having children, is that additional pregnancies may increase the likelihood of needing additional revisional work done in the future.  For some patients, this is acceptable and they proceed forward with a tummy tuck at this time.  If you are an appropriate candidate for a tummy tuck, this can be done through a low and short
incision, all completely below the bikini line. 
The belly button can be designed to look natural and have no scars on
the exterior.   Your muscles can also be
plicated resulting in a flat abdomen. 
Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of
real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate
their results.  The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are
comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified
board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.
