Cosmetic Surgery

Farbod Esmailian, MD answers: Can the same surgeon perform hysterectomy and Abdominoplasty?

I have had 2 consults with a cosmetic surgeon, but recently found that I will need a hysterectomy.

Is there a simple way to find a doctor who will do both a hysterectomy on a healthy (fibroid only) woman with abdominoplasty?

Do the Drs have to work together? I am unclear which way to pursue or how to go about it.

By saying you have seen a cosmetic surgeon I hope and assume you mean a board certified plastic surgeon.  Make sure that is who you are seeing.

Secondly, a gynecologist will perform the hysterectomy and your plastic surgeon should perform the abdominoplasty.  The two surgeons will arrange the timing for the surgery.  You would have to find the surgeons in the same area so that they have operating priviledges at the same hospital.  Having said that, some hospitals charge an enormous price for cosmetic cases.  So it may be a lot more costly for you to have the surgeries done together rather than separately.

Good luck.
