Can I have kids after a tummy tuck?

Thank you for your question. I recently had a patient that became pregnant just a few months after her mommy makeover. Hey, it can happen. :)You can have kids, but the results of the tummy tuck will be jeopardized by the stretched skin involved with pregnancy.I hope this answers your question.

Thank you for your question. The answer is yes you can, althought you may lose the results from the tummy tuck. It is recommended to wait until you're done having kids to undergo a tummy tuck procedure. Tummy tuck is a very powerful technique in the right hands, and can have dramatic results if done correctly.  You definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

If a patient is planning to have more children, a standard Tummy Tuck, one that includes tightening of the abdominal muscle wall, should not be done. However, it is safe to have liposuction and remove excess skin. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.
