Pregnant After a Tummy Tuck 4 Weeks Ago

This is not an uncommon occurrence. I believe you will be able to proceed with your pregnancy without problems, but suggest you discuss with your doctor. Good luck.

Thank you for your post. You certainly can have a baby after tummy tuck. In a tummy tuck, we are putting your body back together similiar to what you were like before you were pregnant. Your muscle tension, your skin and your fat contours are adjusted. Once you are fully healed from your surgery, your body is just as able to accept a pregnancy as it was before your first pregnancy. However, if your belly area stretched after your first pregnancy, then you are likely to stretch again after your next pregnancy. Most surgeons recommend to have a tummy tuck after you are finished having childern, however, in certain instances, such as starting to date again, or just not being happy with your post pregnancy body, then it makes sense to go ahead and have a tummy tuck. Just realize that you may need a revision later on.Best Wishes,Pablo Prichard, MD

I have had several patients become pregnant following an Abdominoplasty.  They all experienced normal pregnancies and deliveries.  Best of luck with your new child.  The body contouring can always be redone at a later date.
