Pregnancy can change a Munster woman’s body, often in ways she does not like, leaving her with a body in which she may feel is unrecognizable. Tummy tucks after a Munster woman has decided not to have any additional children are a popular procedure. But, what if you had a C-Section? Is it safe to get a tummy tuck after a C-Section? Yes, it is! Continue reading as Munster board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Frank of Robert Frank Plastic Surgery discusses the safety of tummy tucks after a C-Section, the benefits they provide and how long you have to wait after your C-Section to get a tummy tuck.
Tummy Tucks After C-Sections Are Perfectly Safe, and Common.
The great news for Munster women is that tummy tucks after C-sections are perfectly safe and extremely common. In fact, many Munster mothers choose to have a tummy tuck after a C-Section to regain their pre-pregnancy body and reduce the scarring from their C-Section procedure.
Tummy Tucks After C-Sections Can Give Munster Women Many Benefits.
Tummy tucks offer Munster mothers a variety of benefits, and this is especially true if you have a C-Section scar. When you get a tummy tuck after a C-Section, you can:
Remove C-Section scars
Repair separated abdominal muscles
Eliminate leftover pregnancy fat
Remove loose or sagging skin
Get rid of abdominal stretch marks
Contour your belly and waistline
Regain your pre-pregnancy body
Regain confidence in your body
How Long After a C-Section Do You Have to Wait for a Tummy Tuck?
While 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.
How Do I Know if I’m a Good Candidate for a Tummy Tuck?
There are some factors that make a Munster mother a good candidate for a tummy tuck, including women who:
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
Can take time off of work and have assistance with childcare while recovering from a tummy tuck
Have realistic goals for the tummy tuck
Are in good psychological health
