Question

Scheduled for Tummy Tuck, Lipo, and Brazillian Butt Lift on October 9..just was referrd by primary care physician to have colonoscopy done on October 8. Is there a waiting period in between the procedures, and if so, how long should I wait? Thank you

Assuming that the colonoscopy did not identify any abnormalities, and your symptoms which led to the colonoscopy have resolved, I would be comfortable performing a tummy tuck several weeks later. Best of luck.

After a few days you should be totally recovered from colonoscopy to undergo body contouring surgery. Nevertheless, this is something you discuss with your chosen surgeon.

At most a week would be fine. But you need to check with your GI doctor and PS to be sure. Best of luck.//

Jourdan Gottlieb, MD · Answer

The colonoscopy itself will not interfere with the proposed surgery. But the results of the colonoscopy may cause a change in scheduling. Not knowing the reasons for this rather quick scheduling, I can't suggest much more, other than to let your surgeon know as soon as possible. All the best
