After giving birth
Surgeons usually recommend waiting at least six months after birth, and often longer, so the body has recovered and the uterus and abdominal wall have settled.
After breastfeeding
Wait at least six months after you stop breastfeeding. Breast size and shape keep changing during this time, and planning too early can make the result less predictable.
Weight and health
The best results come when you are close to your target weight and have been stable for several months. Smokers should stop at least four weeks before and after surgery because nicotine slows healing.
After a C-section
A previous caesarean scar is not a problem. In a tummy tuck the old scar is often removed together with the excess skin, and the new scar is placed low in the same area.
Future pregnancies
Pregnancy after a mommy makeover is possible but can stretch the abdomen and breasts again. The operation is best planned when your family is complete.

Questions about this topic
Is there an age limit?
There is no fixed age limit; health, not age, decides. Your blood tests and anaesthesia assessment confirm that surgery is safe for you.
Can I have it if I am still losing weight?
It is better to reach your goal first. Losing a lot of weight afterwards can loosen the skin again.
