Is it Safe to Get Pregnant After Tummy Tuck Surgery?

Following tummy tuck surgery, it is completely safe to become pregnant.  Many women have pregnancies after an abdominoplasty, however, some of work on tightening the muscles and flattening of the abdomen area may be undone by the pregnancy.  The procedure could be repeated post-pregnancy, but most women do not want to go through the entire experience all over again.

If your results are slightly undone after pregnancy, you could consider a mini tummy tuck (or partial tummy tuck).  During a mini tummy tuck, only a small incision is made to help tighten the abdomen muscles.  Very little skin is removed, whereas in a full tummy tuck a hip-to-hip incision is made and a lot of excess skin is removed.  The procedure is a little gentler and recovery is slightly easier.

A mini tummy tuck is frequently performed on an outpatient basis with a local form of anesthetic. Performing liposuction in conjunction with the tummy tuck can help remove extra fat deposits from the hips resulting in a more dramatic body contour.
