Pregnancy can bring indescribable joy but also big changes to your body. For many moms, the belly area never quite returns to its pre-pregnancy shape. A postpartum tummy tuck may be worth considering if you’ve tried diet and exercise but still struggle with excess skin, stretched muscles, or stubborn fat. But how do you know if it’s the right choice for you?
Voted one of Utah’s top plastic surgeons, Dr. Trenton C. Jones brings over 25 years of experience helping women regain confidence with transformative procedures like the postpartum tummy tuck. Born and raised in Utah, Dr. Jones is known for his precision, passion, and commitment to delivering beautiful, natural-looking results with the latest techniques in cosmetic surgery.
Common Post-Baby Body Concerns
After childbirth, it’s common to experience:
- Loose or sagging abdominal skin
- Separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
- Stubborn fat pockets in the midsection
- Stretch marks below the belly button
While some of these issues may improve naturally or with workouts, others—like loose skin or muscle separation—often don’t respond to lifestyle changes.
What a Postpartum Tummy Tuck Can Do
A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is a surgery to eliminate excess skin, tighten abdominal muscles, and re-contour the waistline. For postpartum women, it can help:
- Restore a flatter, firmer stomach
- Eliminate hanging skin and stretch marks (mainly those below the navel)
- Repair separated muscles, improving posture and core strength
It’s often part of a “mommy makeover,” which may also involve breast procedures or liposuction for more comprehensive results.
Are You Ready? Key Considerations
You may be a good candidate for a postpartum tummy tuck if:
- You are at or near your ideal weight
- You’ve finished having children (future pregnancies can undo results)
- You’re in good overall health and don’t smoke
- You have realistic expectations and a support system for recovery
