Hysterectomy and Tummy Tuck

C. Bob Basu, 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.

You should select an OB/GYN to perform your hysterectomy and select a board certified plastic surgeon (credentialed with the American Board of Plastic Surgery) to perform your tummy tuck. Find a plastic surgeon with privileges at the hospitals where your OB/GYN works. It is very common to have these two procedures together. In fact, I have another one (combo hysterectomy and tummy tuck) scheduled for tomorrow AM. Best of luck.
