I'm 30 yo. I need a full TT as I have excess skin above and below my BB, muscles are intact. I have been advised that a full TT before kids is not a good idea because the BB can cause problems Is this true? I understand & accept kids may undo my results in the future but I would rather gain the benefit now as this is something that really bothers me
Answer: Tummy tuck Typically we advise women who plan to have children in the future to wait until after they have completed their families before considering a tummy tuck. This is because future pregnancies can impact your tummy tuck results. One option you can consider now is BodyTite. This procedure combines skin tightening and liposuction. It does not involve the long scar like the tummy tuck and it does not require general anesthesia. There is no muscle repair involved, but from your description, that is not a concern for you. Before considering any other these procedures I encourage you to visit with your PCP about your potential EDS diagnosis.

Answer: Is a full tummy tuck before children advisable for me? EDS is a contraindication for tummy tuck as these patients do not heal well. Your skin excess is minimal so I would not recommend tummy tuck at this time (if you are deemed a candidate). In this case, you are better off waiting. Best of luck.

Answer: Tummy tuck before children Thank you for your question. The answer is yes, you can get a tummy tuck before having kids. I find most patients that have had weight loss rather be happy now and deal with revision after having children. I would suggest seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate you and discuss your options. Best of luck to you.
