if you are having a c-section can they give you a tummy tuck while they are at it..?

Question

or do you have to loose the weight first.?

Answer 1

THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

But....no. Mainly because they are actually two different - almost opposite - types of surgeries.

A c-section actually is a cut THROUGH your muscles and into your uterus to (obviously) remove a baby (or in my case, "babies.") It involves a very DEEP cut through a SMALL incision.

A tummy tuck, (which I had done last week - partly due to the c-section) is completely different and does not affect the muscles at all. It is a very SHALLOW cut through a very LARGE incision (hip to hip!), It only deals with layers ABOVE the muscle, and involves pulling skin down to flatten it, though they can "re-tighten" your muscle to some extent during a tummy tuck.

So, your muscles and skin need to heal completely from the C-section before a tummy tuck can be performed properly. And you can easily lose a lot of the "baby weight" naturally once your body realizes it doesn't need it all anymore to help sustain another life.

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

I wish lol,your ob/gyn isnt qualified for that he is qualified for delivering the baby via c-section but not plastic surgery.I used that one on my ob/gyn it would of been nice to get a tummy tuck.

Answer 3

No. The doctors will want to see what will happen over some time.. after you heal.

Answer 4

No they can't because your stomach takes some time to go back to it's original size. You need to wait until your body is back to normal.

Answer 5

You would have to have a plastic surgeon as well as your ob there. It would be expensive and not covered by med. ins.

Answer 6

No they can not because of the danger to the baby.

Answer 7

i don't think so

Answer 8

no they cant.!!!
