I’ve also had 2 c-sections. I’ve worked out, lost weight through diet and still have a massive belly.
Answer: Previous Abdominal Surgeries and Tummy Tuck Thank you for your question. The short answer is yes. You have what appears to be a complicated surgical past, and you obviously have multiple scars on your abdomen. Excision of excess skin and contouring may not be a simple tummy tuck as it is for other patients that don't have scars. You would need to be evaluated as a unique patient with unique lifting needs, but in the end a good surgical solution could be found for you. Be persistent and you will fulfill your goals.

Answer: I’ve had a liver resection surgery done, a nerve block surgery and had my gall bladder removed. Am I able to get a tummy tuck? Your specific medical history needs to be evaluated by a board certified PS to determine if you would be a candidate for a TT. Once you have achieved a BMI of 30 or below to ensure the best results possible and minimize risks for complications during and after surgery, set up a Skype or email consultation with a board certified PS to discuss how realistic your goals are.

Answer: Am I a candidate? With your medical history a consultation is needed to determine if you are a candidate for these procedures. The placement of your scars is important in determining if you can consider a tummy tuck due to blood flow concerns. A complete review of your history and current health status is needed. I encourage you to meet with a board certified plastic surgeon near you.

Answer: Tummy tuck Each case needs to be evaluated on its own. What was the liver surgery for? Where are your current scars and how is your overall health currently? You probably would be able to get a tummy tuck but need more complete health evaluation.

Answer: Tummy tuck after abdominal surgery Large incisions from prior surgeries can impede the normal blood flow required to heal traditional tummy tuck surgery. This is mainly related to transverse, or side to side incisions, on the upper part of the abdomen. Modifications of the traditional procedure can sometimes be done to allow for surgery in patients with upper abdominal incisions. Normally the C-section incision is not a problem, nor are small laparoscopic incisions. It is also possible in patients with midline incision’s in many cases. The best thing to do is have a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. He or she can examine you and discuss your options. Best wishes to you.
