I'm 29 year old and I'm patient whit rheumatoid arthritis! The risk is big if I do a Tummy tuck?

Dany,Thanks for your question.The best answer is to consult with your Rheumatologist and Plastic Surgeon together to make sure there are no concerns.  I do not feel there are any contraindications, but you medications should be reveiwed and your Rheumatologist notified.Best of luck.Dr. T

I'm sorry you're having to deal with rheumatoid arthritis, which is really a systemic disease, but while it does sometimes affect healing, if you are on certain medications, tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) can often be done safely and effectively.  Your primary doctor and rheumatologist need to be consulted, and your medications reviewed.  Contact a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery--your primary doctor or rheumatologist may be able to recommend someone.  Best of wishes for what will most likely be a very helpful improvement for you.
