Can you do a tummy tuck a month after an abortion?

Thank you for the question. Yes, assuming you are otherwise a good candidate for tummy tuck surgery, you should be able to proceed.Generally speaking, the “ideal” patient for tummy tuck surgery is one who has completed pregnancies, is medically/psycho socially/emotionally/financially stable,  has an excellent social support system surrounding him/her,  does not smoke, is capable of arranging enough recovery time and who has reached a long-term stable weight.   Achieving your long-term stable weight prior to proceeding will increase the safety of the operation and decreased chances that additional surgery will be necessary subsequently.   Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

 

Thanks for your question. You should be able to have a tummy tuck. Your physicians will want proof that you are no longer pregnant and your PS will want to be sure the uterus is not still overly enlarged.

In all likelihood, your hormone levels will test positive for pregnancy and many anesthesiologists will decline the case in the absence of documented lack of fetal material. It is a simple matter to get a clearance letter when a D&C or curettage abortion has been performed; less so when the pill has been employed. Discuss with your gynecologist to confirm whether you can be cleared now or need to wait.
