Why Do I Have to Wait to Have Children Before Getting Tummy Tuck?

Thank you for the question.If you are planning on having a pregnancy in the near future, it will be in your best interest to delay undergoing the tummy tuck procedure.However,  generally speaking patients who do become pregnant after undergoing tummy tuck surgery are able to have normal pregnancies afterwards.    Depending on weight gain/loss,  changes in skin elasticity,  genetics etc. revisionary surgery may be necessary after the pregnancy.    Best wishes.

Pregnancy can reverse your effects, which means that it may be a waste of time and money to have the surgery now. It can also cause complications with your incision - your incision will probably be healed but there is a risk of separation.
