Tummy tucks and hysterectomies: 2 procedures, 2 surgeons

 It's important for a gynecologist to perform the hysterectomy and a plastic surgeon to perform the tummy tuck.  While you may find a gyn that says he or she can do the tummy tuck at the same time, I would strongly advise against this-- both procedures require specific expertise, and unless the surgeon has had a full residency and board certification in both (which is extremely rare) they cannot be fully qualified to do both-- it's your body, so be careful with your choice.

 It is possible to have these done together BUT you need 2 surgeons - one who is a board certified gynecologist and one who is a board certified plastic (not "cosmetic") surgeon.  Only then will you be having the best surgery and get the safest and highest quality result.  

Unfortunately, there are gynecologists who think they can do a tummy tuck, but fortunately no plastic surgeons I know would ever consider doing a hysterectomy on you.
