What happens if you get pregnant after a mini tummy tuck?

Nothing usually: With a mini tummy tuck, skin is removed below the belly button, along with liposuction and usually no abdominal muscle suturing. Full tummy tuck requires skin elevation above the belly button and repositioning of the belly button with removal of excess skin and abdominal muscle tightening. If you get pregnant after full tummy tuck this will cause seperation of the abdominal muscles in the midline.

Nomal Pregnancy: Generally, patients are able to complete normal pregnancies after tummy tuck surgery. However, the aesthetic appearance of the abdomen will likely change, possibly “necessitating” further surgery. Therefore, best to wait on having tummy tuck surgery after pregnancies have been completed.

Wait until kids done: It is possible to become pregnant after a mini tummy tuck, the course of the pregnancy should not be affected. However the results of the mini tummy tuck will be affected usually necessitating a revisional surgery.
