Considering abdominoplasty and radiation treatment for prostate cancer?

Hello, thank you for your question. Sorry to hear about the prostate cancer, I recommend you to discuss with your specialists, if they give an OK you can move forward with the abdominoplasty. 
Best of luck.

Sorry, but the decision corresponds to your oncologist, not your plastic surgeon. If you need to lose fat, then you should try another procedure. Remember that the radiation needs an adequate diet to be successful, and your skin must be in the best condition. Follow your doctor's treatment. Good Luck!

Thank you for your question.  And congratulations on the weight loss!  I'm sorry to hear about the prostate cancer, however.Although you desire an abdominoplasty, the more important thing is the treatment for your prostate cancer.  I would discuss the possibility with your urologist, oncologist, and radiation oncologist and see what they say.  They will discuss how an abdominoplasty will alter their treatment plan (or not), and this will be helpful information for the plastic surgery.Best,Dr. Dan KrochmalMAE Plastic SurgeryChicago, IL
