Answer: Having a baby following tummy tuck A previous tummy tuck procedure should not prevent you from becoming pregnant if you are healthy and desire another child. I would advise you to wait at least 12 months following tummy tuck before becoming pregnant again. In my 18 years as a plastic surgeon, I've had several patients who choose to have more children following a tummy tuck and they have all delivered healthy babies. Best of luck to you and your family,

Answer: Can you have a baby after a tummy tuck? Yes you can have a baby after a tummy tuck operation. But you must keep in mind that there will be effects of pregnancy which will not go back completely. After pregnancy there can be stretch marks, some loose skin and separation of the rectus muscles which might not go back again. So there are chances that you might need revision procedures after the effects of pregnancy have worn off. It is always advisable to complete your family before undertaking abdominoplasty procedure.

Answer: Pregnancy after Tummy Tuck Yes, you may be able to get pregnant after an abdominoplasty, however I do not recommend it for my patients. The abdomen will not be able to expand as usual during pregnancy, and the stitches may tear. The best option is to wait until after pregnancy to have a tummy tuck. Please discuss this with your surgeon before having a tummy tuck!
