Can you get a plain panniculectomy during a c-section?

Yes: A true panniculectomy is reasonable during a c-section. However, a tummy tuck should be performed after the patient recovers from the pregnancy and is finished having children.

Hi. Yes, a panniculectomy is possible following a C-section, but I recommend discussing this with your plastic surgeon beforehand. Some surgeons advise against it because it can increase the risk of bleeding. Instead, they encourage women to wait six months to a year after recovery before proceeding with a panniculectomy.
