I am 7mo pp from my second birth via Csection. I remember the numbness with my first, however, it went away after a couple of months, its still there 7mo later. The overhang has always been there since my first Csection. I have always been in good shape and eat healthy. Obviously the only way to get rid of the overhang would be a tt, how long do you have to wait after having a Csection? & will that rid the numbness? I know for my breast reduction I have to wait 12 months-is it similar with a tt?

Answer: How long do I need to wait for a tummy tuck? Thank you for the question. Based on your history and description, you will likely be a good candidate for tummy tuck surgery at some point. Best to wait at least 6 months to one year after C section prior to seeking consultation with board certified plastic surgeons. Ask to see lots of examples of their work and communicate your goals clearly as well. Make sure that you are aware that this operation is associated with a very significant physical and emotional recovery period. Generally speaking, the “ideal” patient for tummy tuck surgery is one who has completed pregnancies, is psycho socially/emotionally/financially stable, has an excellent social support system surrounding him/her, is capable of arranging enough recovery time, does not smoke and who has reached a long-term stable weight. Keep in mind, that some numbness (temporary or permanent) is commonly experienced after tummy tuck surgery as well. I hope this, and the attached link, helps. Best wishes.

Answer: When to have a tummy tuck after c-sections will vary by what your problem is and whether you are at a stable weight. Your photos suggest a simple scar revision may be adequate to provide a flatter contour. But you really need to see a local plastic surgeon for the whole list of options that are available to you and from which you can choose.
