How long must I wait to have a tummy tuck after having surgery to remove a stomach fistula? The fistula from an abscess.
Answer: Waiting time Dear Kcopeland1, most surgeons would recommend you wait until you are fully healed prior to another elective procedure. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: How long to wait for tummy tuck after surgical removal of stomach fistula Everything has to be healed, soft and uninfected. After an inflammatory process it may take a year for conditions to be conducive to a tummy tuck. This is a very special situation that would need access to all the facts and a visual, hands on exam in your plastic surgeon's office.
