How long do I have to wait to have a tummy tuck after a tubal ligation?

You could probably do what you are looking to do, but i would typically wait several months to make sure you are healed adequately from the first procedure.  You may be able to find a plastic surgeon locally who works with your gynecologist to do the procedure at the same time.I often do this for patients who are having a tuboligation or hysterectomy so that patients only have to worry about one healing and recovery process.Also, consider the risks of doing a tummy tuck out of state.  You have to be prepared to travel back to your surgeon in case you have a complication (infection, bleeding, prolonged need for a drainage tube, etc...).  You may want to find a plastic surgeon locally who would be willing to help with your post-op care if you are set on going out of state.Good luck.

This is a relatively simple procedure if done laparoscopically.I would suggest that you consult with your plastic surgeon, as both procedures could be done at the same time.Hope this helps.
