Will a Tummy tuck work for someone with FSH muscular dystrophy?

Question

I have a protruding tummy and I know it's because of my FSH muscular dystrophy. I am just curious if mesh will help or am I helpless.

Dear Exquisite882921,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

I think you should be careful having major surgeries with muscular dystrophy.

There’s no possible way for us to make any kind of assessment and give you any kind of realistic answer or recommendation based on your post without pictures or knowing anything more about the state of your condition.

FSH muscular dystrophy is more known for affecting the face and extremities.

I suggest you bring this up to your current treating physicians.

Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
