I had a tummy tuck 3 years ago and am pregnant again. Can I have another tummy tuck after this baby? What should I do now to keep the damages to a minimum?
Answer: Second tummy tuck after childbirth It is certainly possible to have a second tummy tuck if it is needed. Women who limit their weight gain often find that a second tummy tuck is not needed, and their first tummy tuck holds up well. Obviously make sure you are done with children before contemplating a tummy tuck otherwise you might be asking whether a third tummy tuck is possible.

Answer: Pregnant Again: Second Tummy Tuck Possible After Another Baby? Thank you for your question, and congratulations. The short answer is you should be able to have another tummy tuck after having the baby. Of course, you should talk to your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and have a proper exam after the baby arrives. From there you should be able to make a plan. Make sure to ask any questions that you may have. Jeffrey J. Roth, M.D., F.A.C.S. Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Las Vegas Plastic Surgery

Answer: Pregnant Again: Second Tummy Tuck Possible After Another Baby? Congratulations on your pregnancy. Maintaining a well managed/healthy weight ( as dictated by your OB/GYN) will help minimize the changes that may occur with pregnancy. Regardless, it is possible that you will benefit from revisionary tummy tuck surgery after delivery. Best wishes.

Answer: Pregnancy After Tummy Tuck: Revisional Surgery May Be Necessary The vast majority of women who undergo tummy tuck surgery are done having children. Rarely, women who have undergone abdominoplasty change their minds about additional pregnancies or accidentally become pregnant. Under these circumstances, tummy tuck has no negative impact upon the pregnancy. Unfortunately, pregnancy has a negative impact upon the patient’s previous abdminoplasty. Pregnancy recreates many of the patient’s original problems, including loose saggy skin, weakened abdominal muscles, and stretch marks. Because of the significant investment in time, money, and effort, we strongly recommend that patients be done having children before proceeding with abdominoplasty. Even when women don’t plan on having additional children, their life circumstances change and they become pregnant. Under these circumstances, revision of the original tummy tuck can be undertaken with success.
