Tummy Tuck Surgery's affects on Pregnancy
by Sophi85, Jun 21, 2009 08:30AM
I lost over a 100 pounds and now have saggin skin around my stomach with a lot of stretch marks as well. I want to opt for a tummy tuck but the only thing holding me back is concern whether it will harm my pregnancy whenever later i decide to get pregnant. I am only 23 and plan to get married by next year december. I cannot stand the sight of my ugly stomach and it drives me nuts because the constant wobbling and my upper tummy showing thru clothes just sickens me. I just want to know what will happen after i am done giving birth? will be tummy just get loose or does it deshaped looking even more horrible then before the tt.

I advise my young patients that many of the stretch marks can recur, and the skin become saggy again, and the diastasis can recur also. Basically, if you think you are going to have another baby, hold off, and do this happy thing, then have your tummy tuck.
