While it is ideal to wait until you have finished having children to have tummy tuck surgery, this is not always possible. Plans change, and many women find themselves wanting more children even after having this procedure.
Pregnancy stretches the skin and muscles of the abdominal area. It can also result in pockets of diet-and-exercise-resistant fat accumulating which, along with loose skin, will be apparent after you have given birth. While a previous tummy tuck will not harm a fetus or interfere in any way with your pregnancy, if you have had a tummy tuck prior to pregnancy, the results of your procedure will most likely be undone.
Tummy Tuck after Pregnancy
Newport Beach tummy tuck surgeon, Dr. Nirav Savalia, recommends that women wait until after they are through having children to undergo this procedure. If you become pregnant after your first tummy tuck, an additional surgery may be required to restore your frame to its most ideal proportions. In any event, Dr. Savalia can assess your body after pregnancy and combine procedures such as a tummy tuck with breast surgery and other body contouring techniques to help you look and feel your best. Our goal is to ensure you feel comfortable and secure in your body. Dr. Savalia will be happy to discuss your tummy tuck options no matter which stage of life you find yourself in.
If you live in or around Newport Beach, California and would like more information about your tummy tuck options, please contact Newport Beach Center for Plastic Surgery to schedule an initial consultation with Dr. Savalia today.
