Can a tummy tuck cause ischemic bowel?

This is in general no (99.999% no) , but in the medical field you can never say never.  In general you should not be in the intra-abdominal cavity during a tummy tuck.  There are other ways of getting ischemic bowls but tummy tuck would have to be rare or impossible.

The answer to this question is generally no.  But, having said that, there is a very small risk of  intraabdominal injury to visceral organs or bowel with liposuction to the torso and abdominal wall tightening with abdominoplasty, Probably a little bit higher chance exists in patients with hernias or prior intraabdominal surgeries.  I recommend that you discuss your concerns during an in person consultation with a board certified experienced plastic surgeon.

Probably more theoretic than real, but tightening the abdominal wall is a routine part of tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). Theoretically too much tightening could cause a compartment syndrome of the abdomen & potentially bowel ischemia. Again this is highly unlikely to happen. Hope that helps put your mind at ease. 

No, there is no association in performing a TT and the possibility of  creating an ischemic bowel.

Thank you for your question. The answer to this is basically, no. However, because with a traditional abdominoplasty or tummy tuck the abdominal muscles are tightened, depending on how thin the fascia or abdominal wall is to start, there is always a potential of the surgeon going to deep and penetrating the abdominal cavity. Also, with liposuction, because of the nature of the cannula, there is a potential that the abdominal cavity can be pierced. Does this happen often by well-trained, Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons? Absolutely not. But, since you asked, these are the potential scenarios.
