I accidentally posted this in the wrong forum, so I'm hoping that one gets deleted.

I'm reaching the end of my pre-op stuff. I have tried to have the surgery several times in the past but I was never emotionally/mentally ready and I am in a much better place in my life now (including having a job I love, no longer suffering from depression, finally graduated college). I anticipate to have the surgery within the next few months and I'm already looking further in the future when I anticipate I will need to have a body lift. I've read up on it and it sounds like it isn't recommended to have a body lift if I have plans of getting pregnant. I am 30 years old, single and it worries me that I will have to choose between having my ideal body or having biological children. Has anyone had a body lift and then got pregnant later on? Was there any problems associated with that?

Dr. LoMonaco addressed this issue on THIS post a while back. He was my plastic surgeon and is amazing. I trust his judgement completely.

I just had a consult with 2 different plastic surgeons. Both said pregnancy would not wreck the body lift, it may not be as good as right after surgery but I would still have a desirable result.
