Ulnar Nerve and Tummy Tuck
You can definitely have a tummy tuck despite the ulnar nerve problems. It is imperative that you let your surgeon and anesthesiologist know about it pre-op as they may need to take extra precautions with the padding of this area during the surgery depending upon the type of problem.

An ulnar nerve issue should not affect your eligibility for a tummy tuck. You may need some extra help after the surgery

Tummy tuck
You can definitely have an Abdominoplasty even though you have ulnar nerve problems. A tummy tuck is a great option for removing excess skin and tightening the abdominal muscles. Good luck!

Tummy Tuck Can Be Done With Ulnar Nerve Problem
Having an issue with your ulnar nerve does not preclude having a tummy tuck procedure performed. I do agree, however, that you should make the anesthesiologist aware of this so you can be positioned in a way that would lessen the chance of further problems.

If you are referring to ulnar nerve entrapment, the ulnar nerve can be entrapped at different points. The key is proper positioning during surgery. If you had surgery for the ulnar nerve recently, make sure your plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist both know. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Tummy Tuck with Ulnar Nerve condition
There is no problem having a tummy tuck, even if you have an ulnar nerve condition. The only concern I would have is that after a tummy tuck your body retains water and you have overall swelling. this swelling may exacerbate nerve compression symptoms. So it is best for you to discuss this with your surgeon prior to surgery to see if any precautionary steps need to be taken.
Good luck with your surgery.

A problem with your ulnar nerve should not prevent you from having a tummy tuck. You should make both your plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist aware of your problem prior to surgery.
