Can I have a tummy tuck and fibroid removal at the same time?

Hello,I recommend that you pose this question to your Plastic Surgeon. They may be able to coordinate with another surgeon to do both of these for you. Your costs will be adjusted accordingly.All the best

In my practice, I often coordinate with an OB/GYN for a coordinated surgical procedure. As long as you are a good candidate it is a really ideal time to do it since you will need to stay overnight in the hospital from you Fibroid Surgery and we only need one anesthetic course.Good Luck.

Yes possible but you need to fully understand there are issues. #1. Finding 2 surgeons to worj=k together. #2. Increased fees from hospital because of the cosmetic component, around $8,000+. #3. Increased recovery time. #4. Increased complication risks. These ALL need to be explained to you NOW! so you can decide.> Good Luck...

Both can be performed at the same time.The doctors can work out the timing and scheduling.There will be extra fees to the hospital and anesthesia for the "cosmetic" portion.It won't all be covered by insurance.

If you surgeon and OB/GYN can coordinate these procedures, they can be done at the same time.  However, doing both procedures at the same time can increase your risk of postoperative infection or wound healing problems.  You should discuss this with your plastic surgeon to get their preference to give you the best outcome.
