Frequently Asked Questions
How long do tummy tuck results last?
Results are long-lasting if you maintain a stable weight. Significant weight fluctuations or future pregnancies can affect outcomes.
Can I have children after a tummy tuck?
Yes, but it's recommended to wait until you're done having children, as pregnancy can reverse results by stretching the abdominal muscles and skin again.
Will I have a scar?
Yes, tummy tuck involves a horizontal incision that leaves a scar. However, it's positioned low enough to be concealed by underwear and swimwear.
