If hysterectomy has not been recommended, tummy tuck can proceed with an enlarged uterus. Find the plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of tummy tucks each year. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
You can certainly have a tummy tuck. My question is this; do you need a hysterectomy? If so, the two procedures are often done at the same time safely. Talk to both your gynecologist and a plastic surgeon to see if this is an option for you.
Yes, if you "need" a TT you can have one. Question is timing and priorities.

If you have heavy bleeding with your periods, make sure you mention this to your surgeon and make sure you take iron to keep your blood level healthy. There usually isn't much blood loss with tummy tuck but it's best to go into surgery with a "full tank".

A late seroma is possible. It can lead to encapsulation which makes treatment more difficult. Proper diagnosis and treatment is recommended. An ultrasound would help make the diagnosis and treatment. Discuss further with your surgeon.
