 Hi everyone, Dr. Saul here in Beverly Hills. Today we're going to talk about an interesting issue is about having a tummy tuck before pregnancy. When does one need that before pregnancy? Unfortunately, you know, we have a lot of people that are overweight and they do lose weight and there's nothing to do with the skin. And unfortunately, the only thing we can do is the removal of the skin for them so they're more agile, they can exercise better and don't get infections or, you know, moistness between the skin folds. So on a patient that's young, they could be in their 20s or early 30s, they haven't had kids or they might be planning to have kids later on, but the skin is interfering with their daily life. One can have a tummy tuck and I have done that for some patients because it does bother them in everyday life and they can have children after a tummy tuck because we don't touch any of the internal organs. Tummy tuck is a fancy word for excess abdominal skin removal. So it's no more than that, nothing gets done to your internal organs, your ovaries, your uterus, everything is intact. You can still have kids. You might need something later on but it's definitely possible to have kids.
