What Are the Risks During Pregnancy After a Tummy Tuck?

Byebyebelly7
I'm 18, and haven't had a tummy tuck or had children. I lost a huge amount of weight, about 180 pounds and now have loose skin. I'm going to get a tummy tuck, and I still want children in the future but that would probably be 10 years down the road. The extra skin needs to be removed. What are the risks during pregnancy after a tummy tuck? Would I have to go back for a touch up after giving birth?
