Hi! Im 17 years old and ive had a large weight loss from 135 kilo to 65 kilos. In the future around 19-22 i would like to get a tummy tuck to tighten up the loose skin. Here is my problem, I was thinking about when u tighten the muscels and skin in the tummy tuck, is it then safe to become pregnant 6+ years in the future? I have a lot of stretchmarks and is also quite tall if that matters :)

Answer: Children after tummy tuck If you are planning to have children, then you may want to postpone the tummy tuck surgery until you are done having children. The reason being, during surgery, the vertical muscles are tightened and future pregnancies can divide those muscles. I hope this helps.

Answer: Children after a tummy tuck Thank you for the question. The simple answer is yes, you can definitely have children after a tummy tuck. The only consideration is that pregnancy may impact your tummy tuck results, causing stretch marks or abdominal muscle separation. Generally, it's recommended that you have your tummy tuck done after pregnancy but this recommendation has nothing to do with safety issues. An in-person exam with a board certified plastic surgeon is always the best way to fully assess your needs and address your concerns. Best of luck!
