One of the most common questions I hear is, ‘How long after having a baby can I have a tummy tuck?’
In general, I recommend waiting at least 6 months to 1 year after pregnancy — once your weight has stabilized close to your pre-pregnancy weight, you’re in good overall health, and your body has had time to recover.
You should also be finished breastfeeding, and ideally done having children, to maintain long-term results. Every patient is different, so a proper consultation is essential to determine the safest timing and best approach for your body.”
