Default c-section and tummy tuck?

Has anyone ever done a tummy tuck immediately after delivering their baby via -c-section. I am planning on having my third and I am assuming it may be another c-section like my first 2 so I wanted to have a tummy tuck right after the procedure.

Any advise. Is it safe? Sounds crazy but doesn't hurt to ask. Please advise

your obgyn is not a cosmetic surgeon. You will need to do it at a separate time.

I don't think it would be a good idea. Newborns take alot of care and if you get a tummy tuck how would you take care of the baby?

It would be really cool though. If the same doctor could do it I bet alot of women would request c-sections! LOL

Contrary to popular belief, the best time for a tummy tuck if you really want one is about six months AFTER you've delivered (either vaginally or via c-section). This allows enough time for your uterus to contract down to original size and for you to return as much as possible to your original weight. This is so that your muscles and skin get the tightest "fit" possible with a tummy tuck, instead of being "fit" over an enlarged uterus that is still around right after delivery...
