Can I Have a Tummy Tuck if I Plan on Having a Second Baby in 5 Years?

As long as you are comfortable with repeatng the procedure, it may be reasonable to undergo the procedure at this time. I can recall approximately 3 patients who underwent unintentional and uncomplicated pregnancies after a tummy tuck.

You have hit on the main reason why we do tummy tucks: After pregnancy, no amount of exercise or diet will restore loose skin especially if there are stretch marks, or re-align the muscles if they have been separated. If you do have a tummy tuck and then become pregnant, it should not have any adverse effect on the pregnancy but you will lose the benefit of having the tummy tuck, and a second one later can be a lot more difficult. It isn't as simple as just having to have another tummy tuck, so my advice is to wait.
