Speak with your ob/gyn. He or she may be able to go in vaginally or else use the same scar as your tummy tuck. My best,

Thank you for your question and best wishes on your impending hysterectomy.  Depending on the approach, your OB/GYN surgeon may be able to use the same abdominal incision used during your TT or in select cases can perform a total vaginal hysterectomy obviating the need for a stomach incision.  Regardless of approach it should not affect your results assuming care is taken to appropriately repair your muscles and skin.

Jeanette Padgett, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question.  Discuss with your OB/GYN surgeon your concerns.  Sometimes a hysterectomy can be done through a vaginal approach and not require an abdominal incision.  Alternatively, if an incision is needed, your OB/GYN surgeon may be able to use the same incision from your tummy tuck.  Best wishes.

Only after in person TT examination could we offer any response. Ask your PS after a in person visit..........

This should not ruin your tummy tuck result.Your gynecologist can probably use the same incision your plastic surgeon used for your tummy tuck.
