I had a benign tumor removed from my liver January 2016. I am a mother of 5 and am looking to get a tummy tuck. I've read/heard conflicting information in regards to being able to get a tummy tuck and what type with the scar that I have. I'm confused on the whole blood supply compromised thing I've heard. I just want a regular, nice tummy tuck without another crazy looking scar - possible?

Answer: Safest procedures You must understand that the prior surgery has damaged permanently the blood circulation of the abdominal skin and that has eliminated the possibility for you, to get a conventional Tummy Tuck. Your options are design for safety of the skin blood circulation. In my experience your only option is the Fleur de Lis which is a vertical incision in order to do a muscle repair because your muscle is very loose, most likely you have an umbilical hernia, and very saggy skin with stretch marks. The saggy mons pubic may be treated through a regular inferior incision but without undermining the skin. Liposuction Can still be done to waist and lovehandles. Be encouraged Dr. Cárdenas
