Pregnancy After Surgery

Cosmetic surgery performed after pregnancy, whether completed at Shape Cosmetic Surgery or at another facility, can significantly affect your surgical results. While it is entirely possible to have a baby following procedures like tummy tucks, breast augmentation (breast implants), or liposuction, it is important to remember that you may not retain all of your desired results.

If you underwent cosmetic surgery that involved repairs to your abdominal muscles during a tummy tuck, there is a possibility that they may separate again after you become pregnant. However, there is no reason to be concerned—this situation can certainly be addressed and corrected.

It is important to understand that all cosmetic surgical procedures require a recovery period of several months for full healing. If a woman is still in the recovery phase from her cosmetic surgery and later discovers that she is pregnant, it is essential to have a conversation with Dr. Lundeby promptly. He can discuss potential risks and complications throughout the duration of the pregnancy. Although pregnancy after tummy tuck surgery that has not fully healed can introduce certain potential complications, many women will find that their recovery is adequate enough to mitigate any associated risks.
