Ask a Question
Will a Hysterectomy Affect Mommy Makeover Results?
I am considering having a Mommy Makeover (Breast Lift, Breast Implants, a little Liposuction to the hips, umbilical hernia repair, and Tummy Tuck). I am quite certain that I do not want any more children. Will a Hysterectomy effect my cosmetic results?

Hysterectomy and tummy tuck
Hello,
If you are planning on having a hysterectomy I would recommend having that surgery performed first and the tummy tuck second. You can have them at the same time if needed although I prefer to keep the procedures separate and maximize the tummy tuck result when performed.
All the best,

Hysterectomy could affect tummy tuck results
A hysterectomy after a tummy tuck could damage the result. I would have the hysterectomy first and then follow with the tummy tuck.
Best Regards.

Mommy Makeover and Hysterectomy
From a results standpoint, the hysterectomy mostly affects the tummy tuck component. Because the uterus occupies some space within your abdomen, removing it allows for more tightening of the abdominal wall (resulting in a flatter abdomen.) If you are planning the hysterectomy, either do it before or during the tummy tuck (ideally, not after). If you perform the hysterectomy after the tummy tuck, you don't get the benefit of further tightening the abdominal wall, and the procedure is more...

Don't have hysterectomy together with mommy makeover.
Hi.
You increase the risk of serious complications by having too much surgery together. A mommy makeover usually means a breast lift and a tummy tuck, and this is plenty of surgery to do at one time.

The Best Results Occur When the Hysterectomy is Performed Before or During the Mommy Makeover Procedure
Once a woman makes a decision to undergo a hysterectomy, it often represents the beginning of a new phase in their life. Many of these women hope to reverse the changes associated with pregnancy by undergoing a mommy makeover at the time of their hysterectomy. The mommy makeover often includes cosmetic breast surgery, abdominoplasty, and liposuction with a hysterectomy.
When a hysterectomy is added to a mommy makeover, it adds significantly to the operating room time. This usually results...

Hysterectomy and Mommy Makeover or tummy tuck
You may want to confer with your Plastic Surgeon and your OBGYN because these two operations can often be performed together. I have performed this on several occasions in my practice, but it usually required the patient to be admitted to the hospital for a day or so. There should not be a higher rate of complications if the postoperative care is good, and DVT( blood clots in the legs) precautions are followed while you are recovering in the hospital. You should be...

Mommy Makeover Results?
Thank you for the question.
Having a hysterectomy, either separately or at the time of the mommy makeover procedure, should not necessarily affect the results of the procedure.
The most important factor involved I believe is a quality of work performed by your plastic surgeon. Make that choice wisely.
Best wishes.

Hysterectomy and tummy tuck
If you have had a tummy tuck and now need an abdominal hysterectomy I suggest having your plastic surgeon communicate with the gynecologists. If done thoughtfully, the hysterectomy should not affect a prior tummy tuck.
Some women will arrange to have both a tummy tuck and hysterectomy at the same time. This can be a great way to address to concerns at once.

Mommy Makeover and Future Procedures
A hysterectomy should not have any effect on the cosmetic result you get from a tummy tuck or Mommy Makeover. These procedures are often performed together with gynecologic procedures such as hysterectomy and have the advantage of recovering from both procedures in the same period. There may be other options to avoid getting pregnant again such as a tubal ligation, but you should speak to your gynecologist about that. Your cosmetic result should be no different whether or not you have a...

Hysterectomy and mommy makeover
Hysterectomy can be done at the time of mommy makeover procedure. Assuming that you are considering hysterectomy for a benign condition, you can undergo mommy makeover with hysterectomy. Make sure that your plastic surgeon feels comfortable working with your Ob/Gyn. If you are considering hysterectomy after mommy makeover, hysterectomy should not decrease the overall cosmetic result of tummy tuck. Just like choosing a well-qualified plastic surgeon, choose a...

Can a hysterectomy be combined with a tummy tuck?
I'm assuming you are asking if a hysterectomy can be done at the same time as a tummy tuck? The answer is yes. You need to be healthy enough for both procedures. Please visit with a board certified plastic surgeon who works with your OB/GYN.

Hysterectomy will not affect a tummy tuck result
A hysterectomy will not affect your contour after a tummy tuck procedure. Many women have multiple intr-abdominal surgeries, such as C-sections, appendectomies, ovarian surgery,etc. which do not have an impact on your external contour. A tummy tuck does not extend as deep as these other procedures.
Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for a thorough examination.
Best wishes,

Hysterectomy and mommy makeover
I am not quite sure what you are asking. Are you concerned about the timing? Can they be done at the same time? While they can be done at the same time if the hysterectomy is being performed for benign disease, it can increase the risks of complications.

Mommy makeover and hysterectomy
It isn't clear whether you are thinking of having the hysterectomy before, during or after the mommy makeover. Any of these three can be done without significantly affecting the cosmetic result. Just make sure your plastic surgeon and gynecologist are comfortable with the plan.

A Hysterectomy should NOT affect Tummy Tuck results
Unless you have a very large fibroid uterus, a hysterectomy would not affect the results of a Tummy Tuck. Although a hysterectomy is done together with a Mommy Make Over Tummy Tuck, a trans-vaginal hysterectomy may be a bit safer than a (trans abdominal) hysterectomy because vaginal bacteria are not potentially exposed to the entire surface of the abdomen.
Since the hysterectomy will take between one and two hours, this time needs to be taken into consideration when planning several...

Hysterectomy and mommy makeover
A mommy makeovers a combination of abdominal and breast surgery. They may be done any time after a woman has given birth and has recovered from her pregnancy. In our practice we have done many mommy makeovers in combination with other surgeries such as a hysterectomy. When considering this combination, be sure to visit with a experienced board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience doing these procedures simultaneously and also has a good relationship with gynecologists that may...

Hysterectomy and plastic surgery
Your hysterectomy will not effect your ability to have an optimum result from a Mommy Makeover. A tummy tuck only deals with excess abdominal skin and torn abdominal musculature. Your uterus, of course, is an internal organ.

Hysterectomy and mommy makeover
I agree with a lot of what has already been said. One of the things you mention is repair of an umbilical hernia. This is something that most plastic surgeons are equipped to handle. If your hysterectomy can be done vaginally, then the hernia repair can be done during the tummy tuck. I feel, as do some of the other surgeons, that to do it all at the same time carries more risk. It makes sense to do the hysterectomy first, and then come back at another time for the mommy makeover. Good luck!

Mommy makeover is very popular
A hysterectomy should not affect an abdominoplasty, tummy tuck, breast surgery or liposuction. Often a tummy tuck can be performed using the same incision as the gynecologist. This should be coordinated by the surgeons involved in your care.
I would perform the breast surgery and liposuction as a separate procedure. However, a tummy tuck and umbilical hernia repair can be performed with hysterectomy and should be discussed with your plastic surgeon.

Hysterectomy and Mommy Makeover
Hi there-
If you can get your gynecologist and your plastic surgeon to coordinate the procedures, there is no reason you could not have them concurrently, although the length of the procedure may elevate your surgical risk.
If the two are to be staged, I would also recommend having the hysterectomy first, unless it can be done vaginally, in order to not have the concern that the hysterectomy will diminish the result of your tummy tuck.

Hysterectomy and mmommy makeover
SEE VIDEO BELOW: A hysterectomy is commonly performed with a bilareral oophorectomy (ovary removal). This may trigger surgical menopause and in some cases this is associated with weight gain. Combination and prolonged procedures under anesthesia particularly those that involve the pelvic structutres are associated with a higher risk of deep venous thrombosis.

Hysterectomy not impediment for tummy tuck
It is not unusual for many of my patients that request/undergo a tummy-tuck to have had in the past either a c-section, gall-bladder surgery, or abdominal hysterectomy. Typically these prior procedures are not an impediment towards undergoing an abdominoplasty procedure.
I hope this helps,

Hysterectomy with Mommy Makeover
A hystory should not affect your cosmetic resuts of mommy makeover. You may want to have this done at another time, as you are looking at a lot of surgery. If you do this as a second stage, they may be able to do it vaginally, or laporoscopicaly.

Hysterectomy scars and abdominoplasty
No, it will not. In fact, the hysterectomy scar will likely be removed at the same time and replaced with a lower scar that is easier to hide under your undergarments. They can be done at the same operation but if possible it is better to do them at separate operations to decrease the risk of infection or other problems.

Hysterectomy
Hysterectomy will not affect your cosmetic surgery much. If the hysterectomy is done after the tummy tuck, then make sure your gynecologist uses the same abdominoplasty incision and suture or tighten the muscles well.

Do hysterectomy and abdominoplasty, then breast lift and augmentation and liposuction.

Hysterectomy and mommy makeover
While it is possible to do a hysterectomy simultaneously or before a mommy makeover, I would suggest coordinating your gynecologist with your plastic surgeon to make sure they are on the same page and the incision is optimal for both especially if it is done abdominally rather than vaginally. I have done these surgeries at the time of a gynecological procedure but you must discuss the sequence and timing of the procedures and the possible risks that might be higher than doing them separately...

Hysterectomy with mommy makeover
I agree with the other doctors responses. Having a hysterectomy will not affect your results of the mommy makeover, except if the hysterectomy is done after the mommy makeover and the scar from the hysterectomy doe not heal as well as the plastic surgeons scar from the tummy tuck. You may want to consider having the hysterectomy at the same time as the tummy tuck portion and then having the breast done later.

Hysterectomy and mommy makeover
A hysterectomy should not affect your results, as the incision for this can be made in the same location as your tummy tuck incision. I would advise against having a hysterectomy at the same time as your breast and liposuction surgery, but it is certainly possible in conjunction with a tummy tuck. Good luck, /nsn.

Hysterectomy prior to plastic surgery
No, a hysterectomy should not affect your plastic surgery results. Are you wanting to have the surgery at the same time as your plastic surgery? If so, you may want to separate your procedures to a few different times instead of trying to push to have all the procedures at the same time as your hysterectomy. Good luck.
