I am scheduled for a Tummy Tuck in the Summer. Should I still have my TT done?
Answer: Diverticulitis and Surgery In theory, as long as your diverticulitis is not actively inflamed at the time of the procedure, you should be able to undergo a tummy tuck procedure safely.However, if you were my patient, I would ask that you discuss the procedure with your treating physician and obtain his/her clearance before proceeding.I would also likely recommend that you utilize a stool softener after surgery to avoid constipation and additional discomfort.

Answer: Just diagnosed with Diverticulitis. Should I still have my Tummy Tuck done? Thank you for your question. Assuming your diverticulitis can be treated and medically optimized it will not prevent you from having a tummy tuck performed. You would not be eligible if you were having an acute flare around the time of your scheduled abdominoplasty, but with a recent diagnosis you should have enough time to control your symptoms. Best wishes!

Answer: Medical issues and cosmetic surgery It is important to consider all medical conditions prior to having cosmetic surgery. Your condition should not be a contraindication. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon and ask that surgeon to consult with your gastroenterologist. Good Luck
