I am 175cm and 58kg (below my pre pregnancy weight). I am 6 months postpartum and would wait until a year to have surgery. I am seeing a physio and plan to be in the best possible shape for surgery. I have a low of functional issues like back pain and a weak core and I hate how pregnant I look at the end of the day. My diastasis stretches from top to bottom and I have mild skin sagging. I do not want to float my belly button because I think it is low enough as is. What tummy tuck can I get?

Answer: Is a tummy tuck right for me? Hello, And thank you for your question. I would definitely recommend to wait at 1 year postpartum to allow for full tissue recoil after childbirth. Based on the photos, you have very good muscle tone and very minimal skin excess. You may be a candidate for a mini tummy tuck to achieve flat abdominal contour, while limiting the extent of the incision and the scar. I would recommend to obtain an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options and expectations. I hope this helps.

Answer: Full tummy tuck Thanks for your question! I do think you would be a candidate for a full tummy tuck when you are a little further postpartum. My guess is that you do have enough laxity to get the scar nice and low. Good luck!
