Tummy tuck Timing. When is good?

We have established it isn’t a good thing to do the tummy tuck with C section.  I know. I know.  I’d love it too.  But it just isn’t a good idea.  So when can you do it?

When is good timing? Here you will get varied answers.  Most plastic surgeons will advise 6 months or more.  Most will advise trying to get to your pre pregnancy weight.

My advice?

1. KNOW YOU ARE DONE WITH KIDS.
2. Wait at least 3 months: you lose blood during delivery and need to give your body time to rebuild up its blood stores.
3. Get back to prepregnancy weight.
4. Work out and focus on your core.
5. Be done with breastfeeding.  I would wait a couple months after breastfeeding so you can build up your nutrition again.
6. See a Plastic Surgeon.  Make sure you don’t see someone who can only do liposuction– you need someone to evaluate you who actually can do a tummy tuck or liposuction.
7. Know the “price” you are willing to pay for surgery.
