You know they actually cut out your first scar when you have another C-Sec?... so it's kinda like a mini tummy tuck anyway =)
I don't think it's ever safe to have a tummy tuck, no surgery is safe, not that you shouldn't do it - If it makes you feel more confident i say go for it and you might aswell do it while they're chopping you up, I personally don't think the recovery time would be that much longer than after a normal C-sec.

That would require quite a bit of planning. I have heard of celebrities doing this though, however it would require a lot of doctors having to be involved as well as a lot of money out of your pocket and 2 surgery's at once (right after the other). I think people calling you selfish is a bit much, if you're financially stable and want to feel good about yourself who are they to judge, they're acting like having a tummy tuck means you're not focusing on your newborn how retarded! Anyway my suggestion is, allow yourself time to heal (at least 6-8 weeks) and then consider the surgery and/or ask your doctor when the best time to get the surgery is. Plenty of women have tummy tucks after c-sections and plenty of women still become pregnant after tummy tucks. Also if I were you, I'd have all my kids before paying $6000+ for a tummy tuck, why go threw the surgery and become pregnant again and go threw another section and weight gain and then another tummy tuck =P . . . hope all works out, please speak to your doctor about this.

Truthfully, my opinion (and that's all that it is). Pregnancy is taxing on the body even if you do have a c-section. It's still considered a major surgery. When you have a c-section, you are sore afterwards. Afterwards, I would hope that you would have some help with the baby b/c you are going to be recovering for a lot longer than just a couple of days.
I would wait. Although it would be convenient with your time off from work, I would look at all the angles. The pros and cons.

No way. It's hard enough trying to take care of a newborn after a c-section. I couldn't imagine trying to do that after a c-section and tummy tuck. Have you found a doctor that would do that???

I can't imagine that you could find a doctor willing to do that. A tummy tuck is MAJOR surgery and I would think any doctor worth his diploma would want to make sure you'd recovered from your delivery first..

You'd be hard pressed to find a surgeon that would do it right after you have a C-Section. Your body needs to heal before you should think about something like that.

Not safe at all because your body needs to repair itself by healing over time.

why would you put your body through so much..
you will be in so much pain from the cesearian that you have no idea... let alone doing other things to the poor stomach thats been through so much...
give your body at least 3 months to recover then consider other stuff
talking from experience

Why would you do that???? You need to work off the weight. It's not like you just lose 30lbs instantly! Most doctors like to wait atleast 1yr.

I don't think thats the best idea, but ask your doctor just to be sure.
