Do you think it is safe to have a tummy tuck at the same time as your C-section?

thinking about it...i still need one from my first C-section!

Do you think it is safe to have a tummy tuck at the same time as your C-section?
You know they actually cut out your first scar when you have another C-Sec?... so it's kinda like a mini tummy tuck anyway =)





I don't think it's ever safe to have a tummy tuck, no surgery is safe, not that you shouldn't do it - If it makes you feel more confident i say go for it and you might aswell do it while they're chopping you up, I personally don't think the recovery time would be that much longer than after a normal C-sec.
Reply:This is completely untrue, and if your doctor allows you to have a c-sectiona nd a tummy tuck then you should get another doctor. Report It

Reply:Why would you do that???? You need to work off the weight. It's not like you just lose 30lbs instantly! Most doctors like to wait atleast 1yr.
Reply:You'd be hard pressed to find a surgeon that would do it right after you have a C-Section. Your body needs to heal before you should think about something like that.
Reply:why would you put your body through so much..


you will be in so much pain from the cesearian that you have no idea... let alone doing other things to the poor stomach thats been through so much...


give your body at least 3 months to recover then consider other stuff

Reply:No way. It's hard enough trying to take care of a newborn after a c-section. I couldn't imagine trying to do that after a c-section and tummy tuck. Have you found a doctor that would do that???
Reply:Not safe at all because your body needs to repair itself by healing over time.
Reply:I can't imagine that you could find a doctor willing to do that. A tummy tuck is MAJOR surgery and I would think any doctor worth his diploma would want to make sure you'd recovered from your delivery first..
Reply:yeah i think it is safe with proper doctors. but ask ur doctor
Reply:Truthfully, my opinion (and that's all that it is). Pregnancy is taxing on the body even if you do have a c-section. It's still considered a major surgery. When you have a c-section, you are sore afterwards. Afterwards, I would hope that you would have some help with the baby b/c you are going to be recovering for a lot longer than just a couple of days.





I would wait. Although it would be convenient with your time off from work, I would look at all the angles. The pros and cons.
