As long as you are a candidate to donate a kidney, a tummy tuck should not be a contraindication. I would not recommend them as one operation.Medical and nephrology clearance in conjunction with a plastic surgeon is recommended.
Yes, you can go right ahead and donate a kidney after a tummy tuck and or liposuction. One really has nothing to do with the other and there is no issue with scarring either. As a matter of fact, many times the donor kidney can be delivered through the tummy tuck incision.You're a good person to consider donation, btw...Good Luck!
If you are considered a good candidate by the transplant team for kidney donation then a tummy tuck and liposuction should not hinder this process.
It would be advised not only seek a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation, but also a nephrologist to discuss your options. Having a consultation to discuss overall health is important for both procedures. I wish you the best Dr. Gabbay
I am assuming you meant to ask if it is possible to donate a kidney when you previously had a tummy tuck and are now completely healed without complications.If this is a case your ability to donate a kidney will depend on your general health conditions, but it wouldn't be compromised by a previous uneventful cosmetic procedure.
Assuming you are always a good candidate to be a good kidney donor, I do not see why undergoing tummy tuck surgery would prevent you from doing so. Best to discuss this with a nephrologist and/or transplant surgeon for definitive advice. Best wishes.

Assuming you are otherwise healthy and a compatible match, a previous abdominoplasty will not prevent you from donating a kidney. Discuss this with your plastic surgeon and the transplant surgeon, but it should not prevent you from giving the gift of life.Best Wishes,Michael Morrissey,MD
It sounds like you have a seroma. These can often be aspirated by your surgeon a few times and they will resolve. It should be done under sterile conditions. If the aspirations fail, a drain may need to be placed and if that fails, surgery may be needed to excise the seroma and suture down the...
In 25 years of doing plastic surgery I have never seen a high cholesterol level being a valid reason to not do elective cosmetic surgery. I would recommend that you ask your surgeon what the science is behind his recommendation. you may want to seek the counsel of another board-certified plastic...
Thanks for your question. Different techniques result in different scars. The surgeon should review the type of scar you will have and can adjust based off your desires. I prefer the low curved scar to keep the scar concealed in undergarments and bathing suits. A high...
