Do you know of any surgeries to reduce post-partum fat? what happens if you get pregnant after surgery?

Diet/Exercise>surg?: The best way to lose post-partum fat is diet & exercise. However, your problem may be less due to fat and more related to lax skin and abdominal musculature. This can be improved with a tummy tuck but if you get pregnant again, the tummy tuck may have to be repeated. My advice is to complete child bearing and then achieve a stable weight thru diet/exercise and then see a plastic surgeon if needed.

First-diet, exercise: First, try diet and exercise. If not successful, liposuction is very good for re-sculpting the body. If you get pregnant again, you may gain weight first in areas than have not been treated. Tummy tucks (witch hazel) are great if your skin and muscles have stretched, but be sure you are done with pregancies.
