Together YES, same doctor NO

Robert B. Pollack, 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.

There is no plastic surgeon who would offer to do the hysterectomy himself/herself, but you may find a gynecologist who this he/she can do the abdominoplasty too. Run, don't walk, away from any gynecologist who says they can do both parts. These need to be done by different doctors specialized in the two areas if you want to have the best results possible (and also for your safety).
