Our recommendation is for a woman to complete her family before a tummy tuck. Should a patient become pregnant, she would be able to carry the pregnancy to term. A small touch up to her tummytuck may or may not be needed.

Yeah, I had a baby at 25 and I had a similar situation. I decided to have a tummy tuck and I was very happy with the result and my husband was even happier. It definitely is worth the money and the time. It really helped my self esteem.

Should I finish having my babies and then have the tummy tuck? How many tummy tucks can you have in a lifetime?

I would wait until I�m done having kids.

No girl, you can have your tummy tuck now and then, after your next baby, you can deal with it then.

All what I know is that I completed my family, had my tummytuck done and did my boobs at the same time. The recovery was not so bad and I am DONE!

I had a small hernia form a previous surgery that my plastic surgeon fixed at the same time , but he was insisting that I had to wear a compression garment for the whole 6 weeks, 24/7. It�s not that comfortable, but it�s worth it in the end.

Because of the time needed to heal, I think you should wait before you have your first tummy tuck.

I don�t know what the rule is, but a friend of mine got remarried after her tummytuck and managed to get pregnant.
