My husband had a vesactomy 3 months ago. I found out I was pregnant had a medical abortion. Will my surgens to got ahead with my tummy tuck?

The fact that you have had a previous abortion should in no way influence whether or not you are a candidate for a tummy tuck.

Can I Have a Second Tummy Tuck After Hysterectomy?

5 yrs. ago I had a TT and then #yrs after that unfortunately i had a hysterectomy where they had to cut thru my scar because my ovaries where imbedded in scar tissue due to endometriosis. is it possible to have a second tummy tuck or a mini ?

From the limited information provided, it seems that a secondary tummy tuck or a mini-tummy tuck or a scar revision could be possibilities.  This would depend on the amount of excess skin, etc.  Obtain a consultation with your previous PS or another board-certified plastic surgeon with whom you discuss your options.

Is IPL Laser Treatment for Breast Enlargement Effective?

I'm considering having ipl laser treatments for a breast enlargement. Research has shown that it increases up to 2 cup sizes only. Is this procedure effective? And what are the side effects?

I agree with Dr. Griffin's assessment of the IPL.  I cannot imagine that it would result in any increase in breast size and certainly not a two cup increase.
