A bit of advice: Before proceeding, be reasonably sure that future pregnancy (pregnancies) are unlikely. If it happens, the pregnancy goes well, but you may lose some of your results. Smokers, poorly controlled diabetics, and the obese are not good candidates for a tummy tuck. You will need about two weeks off (from work and child care responsibilities) to recover following a typical tummy tuck, and even after that, your capacity for physically strenuous exercise returns slowly over several months. Seek a board-certified plastic surgeon for the procedure. Consulting with more than one if possible helps you become a more informed consumer and a better-prepared patient. See the results of the doctor (our before and after tummy tuck gallery) to understand what type of result you should expect. Ask questions, and expect frank answers with regard to such issues as scar size and location, complication rates, and accreditation of the surgery center or office surgical suite. If your surgeon is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, you like his or her results on other women, and your intuition is that you trust the doctor, you are likely safe to proceed. The vast majority of women are very pleased with the lifelong result of contemporary abdominoplasty.
