I had my c-section on february 2010. I am not currenly working and I would like to use the time to have a tumy-tuck or a liposection. I don't know if I already healed from the c-section or If I should wait more time. I already back to my before pregnant weigh, but have somefat on my belly.

Answer: Tummy Tuck after Pregnancy Yes, you should be fine for surgery. However, just like any elective procedure, the most important thing is to make sure that you are in good medical condition prior to having surgery. Also, with tummy tuck or abdominoplasty, you really should not lift anything heavy for about a month after surgery while you are healing. So, it would be important that you have someone who can help take care of your newborn as well. Good luck with your procedure.

Answer: Tummy Tuck After C-Section Delivery I like to see the "baby fat" mostly gone, and the patient close to her pre-pregnancy weight. I have seen active and athletic individuals ready for surgery in as little as 3 months after delivery. While there may be some swelling and maturation of the actual C-section scar over the course of a year, it does not change what I do in surgery as that entire area is going to be removed and "tucked" anyway.
