So I have multiple fibroids. I was told I have to do a hysterectomy and have my hernia repair. I have 4 kids. one of my pregnancy was with twins. So am pretty much stretch out with strech marks. Since am getting cut open. I think it would be the best time to get it done. I do not want to be cut twice. Is there a doctor out there that can perform this procedure. Or would I need a GYN and a plastic surgeon to do both procedures. I would love to hear from someone. Thanks T
Answer: Make sure you use a plastic surgeon for the plastic surgery portion My 2 cents: I have seen too many obstetricians attempting to do the tummy tuck portion so that they can make extra money at the same time as their portion. However, do not be fooled by this, they are not trained to do a tummy tuck so leave that in the hands of a board-certified plastic surgeon only.Best of luck!

Answer: Combo cases with tummy tuck Thank you for your question. These procedures can be combined safely in the right patient. You will need a gynecologist for the hysterectomy and possibly a general surgeon for the hernia as well as a plastic surgeon for the tummy tuck. It will take some coordination and planning but could be done. Good luck.

Answer: Tummy tuck, combined procedures Hello and thank you for your question. In general the answer to your question is yes. You are able to combine procedures such as hysterectomy and abdominoplasty. The surgeons can definitely work together on this. You should keep in mind that a tummy tuck is a cosmetic procedure, and as such, is typically not covered by insurance. You should definitely have an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon and your GYN surgeon to determine if you are a candidate. Good luck!
