Is It Safe to Get a Tummy Tuck After Having 3 C-Sections?

It is generally not a problem for a tummy tuck to be performed on patients who have had multiple c-sections. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon if it is suitable for you.

Yes, a tummy tuck is definitely safe, even after three C-sections. In fact, a tummy tuck can be done after many different types of surgery, including hysterectomy, appendectomy and gall bladder removal. Sometimes there will be more scar tissue beneath the skin but an experienced plastic surgeon should be able to deal with this easily The scar tissue you refer to as around your uterus is really "out of play" since the uterus, bladder and intestines are inside the abdominal cavity, while the tummy tuck will be outside the abdominal cavity. Go for it and good luck.

Many of my tummy tuck patients have had multiple C-sections and come in upset at the effect on their abdominal musculature, skin tone and appearance. The operation does not go near the uterus itself.  As for scar adhesions from the previous surgeries, this requires careful dissection.  The scar from the prior C-sections is removed, along with the excess skin, the muscles are tightened and the wound is closed with attention to detail to produce a finer, linear scar.  A tummy tuck will have no negative effect on your health.
