After giving birth, most moms are eager to regain their pre-pregnancy shape with a tummy tuck. Dr. Morin suggests that patients wait 6 months after their final child is born before having surgery. Moreover, Dr. Morin doesn’t believe in combining abdominoplasty with a C-section. He believes that a woman’s uterus needs time to heal and return to its pre-pregnancy size. Healing must be done before remodeling the surrounding skin and soft tissue.
