Prior Cholecystectomy Surgery and Tummy Tuck?

Depending on the location and extend of the cholecystectomy scar, it might prove to be a limiting problem or something that can be incorporated into the abdominoplasty design. It might require you to rethink your priority and risk factors such that you might need to accept a higher location of your scar in order to achieve the contour you desire.

I have performed many abdominoplasties in patients who have had prior cholcystectomies (both laparoscopic and traditional or open), and have had very few problems related to the prior surgery (although I always worried about the scar influence). After examining your particular scar, surrounding tissues, presence of any herniation, etc., your board certified plastic surgeon can give you a very good idea of the safety of an abdominoplasty and/or liposuction. It would be unusual not to be able to provide a safe and effective resolution.
