tummy tuck before children



Recommended Posts

So I just had surgery so I am no where near the point of needing plastics right now...however my insurance (under my mom is allowed until I'm 26) is very good insurance. ..it paid for my entire VSG and will pay for a Tummy Tuck and breast augmentation if needed after surgery and weight loss. Most insurances pay for some if any of plastics. I was just curious if anyone did a tummy tuck before having kids? Ive seen many people have kids then work back to their original size (and by original I mean pre kids at goal weight)

I did not but I'm sure there are people out there that had a Tummy Tuck pre kids (pure cosmetic or wls). If I had been in this situation pre-kids I would have no issues getting the tummy tuck and then still having a family when that time comes.

I was watching doctor 90210 and one of the surgeons Dr. Li had a formerly obese young patient and the doctor recommended removing the excess skin now but NOT tightening the underlying muscle until after childbearing.

I had 2 kids, then did a Tummy Tuck after losing the pregnancy weight gain and I had a great looking stomach, with stretch marks gone and even a four pack. I then had two more pregnancies over the next few years and my stomach went flat again and it was a great result to see the tummy tuck held up so great. No added stretch marks for me and no pouch. The four pack went away but the rebound was awesome.

Hope that help, Good luck.

Having kid after a tummy is possible, but it could possibly mess up your results. The tummy tuck cuts away excess skin and they also tighten your stomach muscles. I had a tummy tuck about 6 years ago and I have a 10 year old son. The doctor really wanted me to wait to have a tummy tuck since I was only 24. However, I knew that I didn't want anymore children. I did the surgery and since then I had put on 70 lbs. LOL. My stomach was no longer flat after 70 lbs, but 6 years later my stomach muscles are still super tight. Now that I'm losing weight I see my stomach going down. I believe I will get my original tummy tuck results back! In fact I know I will. My body is bouncing back.

Sorry, I'm typing so much. Live in the moment and get your tummy tuck! You will love the results. I couldn't believe how amazing I looked after my tummy tuck. Get it while your insurance will pay, because its super expensive.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
