Re: Plastic Surgery and Pregnancy

[Guest guest]

Steph,

Plastic surgeons told me that I need to wait to have a tummy tuck, breast

redulction/lift etc. until I am thru having babies. Just thought that I would

share what I was told.

Hi,

I had a TT and breast reduction a year before I got preg.. Wait if

you know you want more children. I had a lot of skin on my back but

before I got preg my tummy was tight and flat now it's not. My breast

still look pretty good though.

That is what I was told. It makes sense. Why have

work done on your body that pregnancy will destroy?

Personally, I am glad they were honest. I would love

to get everything done at once, but I know that is not

the safest route to go.

Some crooked doctors would have done the surgeries

pre-pregnancy and then tried to rake in more money

doing them again post-pregnancy.
