What happens when your tummy tuck is pulled by pregnancy?

Variable: Some women tighten back down quite nicely after a pregnancy. Others require another abdominoplasty to tighten the abdominal wall and remove any additional excess skin.

Stretches again : I have had at least three patients that i know who have become pregnant after a tummy tuck. I have repeated the tummy tuck on one. No one had any pregnancy or delivery problems.

Stretching again: It is optimal to have tummy tuck surgery once you have completed childbearing. The results of surgery can be diminished by pregnancy afterward. The ability to repair it after future pregnancy can vary as well. Fortunately, this is a rare problem.

Differs: Some patients "bounce back” nicely after pregnancy; some patients benefit from revisionary surgery tummy tuck surgery after pregnancy. Factors such as genetics and degree of weight gain/loss come into play.

It stretches: Tummy tucks (witch hazel) do not inhibit pregnancy, or the abdomens ability to stretch. If the belly recoils weel, the result is often good. If the skin and muscle do not recoil, the abdominal wall may need to be tightened again. This is why it is best until after child bearing to have a tummy tuck.

1 of 3 things: 1) everything shrinks back to normal. (the ideal). 2) everything gets stretched (the last thing you want) 3) a little skin stretch, a little muscle separation (most people fall into this group).
