Will fibroidectomy affect my BBL and tummy tuck surgery?

Question

I have been longing to get a liposuction, tummy tuck and BBL but I have multiple fibroids. My multiple fibroids has made my life unbearable cause I experience heavy bleeding during my periods, pains during sex and I always look 6 months pregnant except when am wearing a corset so the only solution is myomectomy but I fear that will affect my BBL surgery any advice please?

In your case I would give priority to  treatment of severe medical condition that you have by means of multiple fibroid. Once you are stable you should consider cosmetic surgeries like BBL and TT. Consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is recommended. Good luck.

The myomectomy may be straightforward, and the answer has to do with the approach to the uterus.  You may have to wait several months or just a few weeks.  Ask your OB/GYN what is planned and then communicate that to your plastic surgeon to get a precise answer.

Dear cibadu,
It is hard to tell for sure without an examination but your uterine tumors probably won't have negative effect on your tummy tuck and BBL results. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Please talk to your OB/GYN to see if you are clear for plastic surgery and then I suggest you to book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the best options for your goals.

I would suggest discussing this with your gynecologist as to what treatment he is recommending. You should take of the medical issue before embarking obn cosmetic surgery.
