Can tummy tuck before pregnancy lead to preterm labor or other complications?

October 24, 2014
Asked By:Sy77 in Sunland, CA

I did liposuction on my abdomen and it still doesn't look like as flat as I would like it to be. I'm considering tummy tack to hide a long appendectomy scar. The doctor thinks muscle tightening is not necessary although he thinks I have some muscle weakness. If there is a very slight chance that I'll get pregnant, should I still do the muscle tightening and will minimal tightening be safer? Im 42 with one c section birth, 147 pounds, 5.6, stomach , don't have loose skin.
