Pregnant Right After Mommy Makeover, Are There Additional Risks Now?

Thank you for your question.  If you are planning on getting pregnant or you already pregnant, you can rest assured that your stomach can re-stretch to accommodate pregnancy.  The only exception might be if you had a complication with your tummy tuck and developed excessive scar tissue.  If you are actively planning on getting pregnant and considering a mommy makeover, it would be more prudent to delay your procedure until after your pregnancy and when your body returns to the post-pregnancy baseline as your body will go through some additional changes with each pregnancy.  I would visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and goals in more detail.

The vast majority of women who undergo Mommy Makeover
surgery are done having children.Rarely, women who have undergone Mommy Makeover surgery change their
minds about additional pregnancies or accidentally become pregnant.Under these circumstances, Tummy Tuck has no
negative impact upon the patient’s pregnancy.Unfortunately, pregnancy has a negative impact upon the patient’s
previous abdominoplasty.Pregnancy
recreates many of the patient’s previous problems.The abdomen may develop loose saggy skin,
weakened abdominal muscles and stretch marks.The breasts may develop sag and loss of breast volume.Immature scars may spread. Because
of the significant investment in time, money and effort, I strongly recommend
that patients be done having children.
