Tummy tuck after C-Section?

Question

I’m pregnant with my 2nd child. (14 & 2) They placed me on metiformin for not eating & yet, my blood sugar was increasing (gestational diabetes). I have lost about 20 pounds so far and my pooch is hanging on my stomach onto my thighs. I’m 4’8. Question: Has everyone ever had a c-section and got a tummy tuck directly after? If so, were you able to breastfeed? I do want to breastfeed but I’m nervous they’ll tell me no if I want to do the tummy tuck.

Answer

This reminds me of an episode of "botched" where a woman had a c-section and tummy tuckat the same time - the surgeons was beyond shocked as its absolutely not something to combine. So i would run if your obgyn suggested that thats a possibility.

Answer

They likely not do a tummy tuck right after a csection. Id imagine the wait would be 1+ year

Answer

They will tell you no. No respectable doctor will do a tummy tuck immediately after birth. The minimum is 6 months, but they would prefer 12.

Answer

They won’t give you a tummy tuck immediately after birth. And with the risk of infection from something like a tummy tuck, no surgeon will touch you for an elective surgery like that until you’re done breastfeeding.

Answer

Agree with the others. It’s not recommended to have a tummy tuck at the same time as a C-section.

Answer

You'd have to wait at least 6 months after giving birth to have a tummy tuck. Maybe even longer, depends on what that specific surgeon is comfortable with.
