Candidate for Tummy Tuck ?

Hello and thank you for your question.
It is best to wait until you are finished having children. This will give you the best possible result. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!

A typical full abdominoplasty is often performed after moderate weight loss. It can be a powerful procedure that can flatten and remove excess skin and fat from both above and below the belly button. Typically for a weight loss patient without kids, the belly wall is still tight and so no plication is performed. Often flank liposuction is added to an abdominoplasty for better contouring.

The improvement in contour depends on many factors. These factors include the extent of skin tightening, the amount of pre-operative muscle laxity, the overall attenuation (thinness) of the abdominal wall, the amount of intra-abdominal fat (fat inside the belly), and the amount of subcutaneous fat (fat in the skin). In addition, previous abdominal surgery can make the procedure more challenging.

The ideal abdominoplasty patient is at or near their ideal weight, is stable at that weight for a year, is physically and nutritionally healthy, and is looking for help in removing excess, hanging skin.

Realistic expectations are important. A detailed examination will help deline.ate the best surgical option. Consultation with a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery would be the next best step. See our link below for more information

hello,
You can definitely still have a Tummy Tuck if you want to have kids. However, we would not want you to get pregnant for many months after the procedure. Ideally wait a year.
Over my 30 years in practice, I have had 2 patients get pregnant before the 4 month post op period. It was no danger to the baby. The only issue was that the incisions had not yet had time to completely heal. As I remember it, one patient had a scar revision a couple of years later.

If you are generally healthy, your BMI is ok to have the surgery. My cut off is BMI35.
It is ideal to combine the TT with Lipo to the flanks. The Liposuction to the flanks will remove the love handles, as well as the back muffin top. You butt will ever look more shapely after Lipo to the flanks!

Hope this helps and thank you for your question.
