Timing an abdominoplasty after a tubal ligation
There is no reason to wait more than a few weeks for the inflamation around your belly button to go down. The two procedures can be done at the same time, but this involves coordinating two surgeons with busy schedules. As long as you are healthy two general anesthetics close together is not a problem at all. Why wait? Now that you've closed the door on pregnancy move back to a beach body and enjoy yourself. I did and I have never looked back.

Tummy Tuck and Tubal Ligation
You could have had a Tummy Tuck at the same time as your Tubal Ligation. But that's in the past. You can proceed with a tummy tuck a few weeks after your tubal procedure. Please visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more about your options.

Tummy tuck after tubal ligation
It is too bad but you could have had a tummy tuck the same time as your tubal ligation. Now, you should probably wait a few months for the swelling to subside and the fascial incisions to heal after the tubal.

Abdominoplasty (Tummy tuck) after tubal ligation
I think that the answer to this greatly depends on you. How are you feeling after your tubal ligation and are there any complications such as unusual inflammation? While I see no medical reason for you needing to wait if everything is normal, it is always best to have surgery when you are feeling your best. If you still feel as though you are “recovering,” you may want to consider waiting a few weeks until you feel better.

Tummy tuck
Yes. There should not be any problems. Simultaneous surgery will certainly be cost-effective, and the incidence of an infection is very low.

Los Angeles Tummy Tuck and Tubal Ligation
Excellent question. Tubal ligations can actually be performed concomitantly with tummy tucks. This needs to be pre-arranged with your plastic surgeon and gynecologist. Given that you've already had a tubal ligation, a minimal amount of downtime is required. Perhaps a week or two. There is nothing precluding you from proceeding with the tummy tuck, assuming your tubal ligation was without incident.
Best of luck,

Tummy tuck after (at the same time as) tubal ligation
You don't have to wait long at all. I think a few weeks should be fine.
For those of you that are reading this, if you want to have a tubal ligation, it can be done at the same time as a tummy tuck. Ask your plastic surgeon about coordinating the surgery with your gynecologist.

Tummy tuck can be done at any time.
Hi.
You actually could have had you tummy tuck together with your tubal ligation. Now, do it whenever it is convenient.

As long as you have healed from the surgery and medically are fit for a tummy tuck, any time would be fine. Make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.
Good luck.

Tummy tuck after tubal ligation is just fine anytime.
Tummy tuck after tubal ligation is just fine anytime.
A tubal ligation is usually performed through a small incision which heals quickly. You should be able to proceed to tummy tuck soon after. However, if the tubal ligation has been performed shortly after giving birth, you may want to wait several months to allow the abdominal tissues to return to normal.

Tummy Tuck after Gynecological Surgery
We frequently get asked to combine cosmetic surgery and Gyne surgery. Each case is different and the risks of the combined sugary may be higher so that one must assess this on a case by case basis. In terms of waiting for your Tummy Tuck after a tubal ligation: 6-8 weeks should be fine. It would mostly depend on how you need to plan for your downtime

Tummy tuck after tubal ligation.
I would discuss this with your gynecologist first. However, I don't see any reason why you cannot proceed without delay. We have performed this procedure as a combined single operation in the past.

Advised Delay between Tubal Ligation and Tummy Tuck procedure
Tubal Ligation through the belly button involves mild inflammation which should be largely resolved by 6-8 weeks after surgery. tummy Tuck could easily be done at any time but thesurgeon would encounter less inflammation if this period was observed.

Tummy Tuck after Tubal Ligation
The average wait time would be as little as three weeks to 6 weeks. Discuss with your PS. Best of luck from MIAMI Dr. Darryl J. Blinski

6 to 8 weeks should be alright.
Waiting about 6 to 8 weeks after tubal ligation should allow healing and be sufficient for your tummy tuck. Asking this question of your gynecologist would be advised.
