Plastic Surgery before Pregnancy or After?

I was wondering I am fairly new to my journey just had my surgery June 17th 2009. I am going to be 30 years old this September. I am married to a great guy and he is 35. Now we have no children and would like to have a baby in the near future. Obviously after our 2 year wait from me having my surgery. My question is..should I have Plastic surgery before I decide to have a baby or after I have a baby? I plan on trying when my surgeon says it is okay for me to start trying. However I was wondering because if my skin is really bad I would want to have plastic surgery and I was curious what others thought or if anyone has been through this. Thanks.

 I'm waiting until after - I don't want to risk stretching out scars or getting NEW stretch marks due to the pregnancy. Since I had extra skin to work with for this pregnancy, I haven't developed a single stretch mark.

I would wait till after

My plastic surgeron said for me to have s baby/babies and then have my plastic surgery (especially if I wanted a pannectomy or tummy tuck).

I am waiting until we are done before getting a tummy tuck.  My ob said it could get uncomfy during pregnancy if you have a tummy tuck because of the muscle tightening. 

Hi Denise....

Congratulations on your recent surgery....WOOOO HOOOO....

I think it is different for everyone and for various reasons....I actually had a tummy tuck before I had a baby....a few reasons....my pani was horrible and it hung very low on my thighs....I ended up having 30+ pounds removed with the excess skin...I knew I wanted to have a baby too but thought this was best for me as I did not want to have my pani that bad and be pregnant....so it was best for me....I did feel tightening when I was pregnant due to the tightness but nothing drastic....after I am done having kids I may consider a tightening up again....we will see....

Good luck to you....

Denise,
I really think it depends on how unhappy you are with your extra skin.   I met with a plastic surgeon about breast implants with a lift.  He strongly suggested I wait until after I was done having babies before having it done.   My stomach has some extra skin, but not enough to really effect my daily living.  Like Dev said I didn't get any new stretch marks from pregnancy.
Good luck on your weight loss journey!

after.

I'll only get the chance to do the plastics once...I'm not ruining them with baby growin.

Hi Denise! 
I am four years post-op from my plastics, and am 38 weeks pregnant. My doctor told me that after my TT, carrying could possibly be more uncomfortable, and to be totally honest, I don't see myself as any more uncomfortable than the "normal/regular" women around me. Yes, things are cramped, yes, I'm out of room! But, doesn't everyone feel that way at this point? I don't have any new stretch marks, but I will need to have my breasts re-done after we're done having kids in a few years. It's all part of the journey for me, I guess. I think it just depends on where you are in life ... I had the TT and lift with implants because I was single and younger ... now? I would wait.

I would wait. I had a ancor cut TT in 05 and had a pefect stomach. The only reason I got it was because I thought I was done having kids. Well then I left my husband and met someone else, and here I am 21weeks PG with twins. So far so go as far as comfort I don't think my stomach will get as big. I have alot of strerch marks. But if I could have I would have waited till after before I had it done.
