How Long After a C-Section Do You Have to Wait for a Tummy Tuck?

| robert frank mdWhile tummy tucks after C-Sections are perfectly safe, you do have to wait a bit before undergoing the elective plastic surgery procedure. Dr. Frank recommends that you wait 6-12 months after your C-Section to ensure that you have properly healed from that surgery. Wait until your post-pregnancy weight has stabilized, as weight gain after a tummy tuck can also negatively impact your results.

Are done having children

Are in good overall health

Are non-smokers, or quit smoking at least 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after surgery
