A tummy tuck does not prevent pregnancy. Ask your doctor about birth control options if you do not want to become pregnant.
Pregnancy is safe after a tummy tuck, but we don’t recommend it. During pregnancy, the abdomen rapidly expands, stretching the skin and muscle as the baby grows. This stretching is safe, but it often has a negative cosmetic impact. Stretch marks can occur, abdominal muscles loosen, and skin may become saggy and deflated.
For tummy tuck results that last, we recommend waiting for surgery until you’re finished bearing children. Ask us about our mommy makeover to restore and enhance your body after your final pregnancy.
