The Question On The Tummy Tuck Candidate’s Mind

If I have a tummy tuck, is it okay if I become pregnant in the future? While tummy tucks are often used as an answer to the loose and sagging skin after pregnancy, it is a concern for many women what may happen if they become pregnant again after their procedure.

Is it better to have a tummy tuck in Colorado before pregnancy or after?

The answer is after. While it is safe to have children after a tummy tuck and the procedure may in fact help your body handle pregnancy better than without it, it is still best to have a tummy tuck when you are not planning to have more children. Whether or not you have already had a tummy tuck, your belly will endure quite a bit of stretching during pregnancy which often leaves excess skin hanging due to a loss of elasticity. While a tummy tuck in Colorado may help maintain your abdominals when done before pregnancy, it achieves its best results once you are already through having children. At this point, a tummy tuck can be performed as part of a full mommy makeover. If you are considering a tummy tuck in Colorado, it is recommended to wait until after pregnancy for the best results; however, having children after your procedure is still completely safe.
