Yummy tuck after c section?

pregnant with my third child, expected to be the last. Previous children also delivered by c-section. I have excess skin that I would love to get rid of. I read about having a tummy tuck right after. What are your thoughts?

    If you can afford it and it's safe to do right after why not? I feel like that's what a lot of celebrities do anyway.

    Is that really an option? Like during the same procedure?

    I'm pretty sure that's not something you can actually have done. It wouldn't be safe do that type of procedure when your uterus still hasn't contracted fully.

    I'm in the process of trying to figure out.

    Yeah I'm pretty sure you'd have to wait until your body has healed and any skin that will go back has. Definitely say go for it- but I'd probably wait a year.

    Actually you can have it done to an extent. It won't be a a full on tummy tuck but a lot of dr.s have begun doing this for their patients that have us multiple c-sections. My sister and also a friend of mine have had this done

    I remember hearing that it can be done. I really hope it can be done right after.

    I would probably avoid this for safety reasons, but see this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3325006/ Small sample size but still pretty interesting results.

    I think you have to wait until your uterus shrinks back down, but if it is the case, I'm in the same boat, sign me up! No amount of diet/crunches/planks ect could get rid of my pooch from my c/s. I got down to 103lbs last summer and STILL had it!
