I am scheduled to donate a kidney soon. I really want to get a tummy tuck done sometime next year. Will a doctor go through with the procedure after learning I only have 1 kidney? Also how long after my kidney transplant should I have to wait to get a tummy tuck?

Answer: Tummy tuck For abdominoplasty, one needs to be in good health and undergo the appropriate preoperative testing ; this would include nephrologist and transplant surgeon clearance. One should waits a least six months for healing after previous abdominal surgery prior to tummy tuck. Wishing all the best with the kidney donor and transplant surgery.

Answer: Can I get a tummy tuck surgery if I only have 1 kidney? If you are otherwise healthy and your nephrologist and transplant surgeon clear you, you would be a candidate for the TT. For your safety, select a board certified plastic surgeon who operates in a certified surgery center or hospital. Guidance on when to proceed with the TT following kidney transplant can be obtained from your nephrologist and PS.
