I am 53 years June 15th I had a robotic assisted laparoscopic total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy how long should I wait for a tummy tuck?
Answer: Tummytuck After Hysterectomy squirt64. It is best to wait at least six months for complete healing and all swelling from your hysterectomy surgery to resolve. I would also ask the opinion of your gynecologist prior to seeking consultation from a board-certified plastic surgeon. Many times, tummy tuck surgery can be performed at the time of the hysterectomy for those other RealSelf readers observing this reply. Be certain to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon when you are ready to proceed. Good luck.

Answer: Surgery after hysterectomy Gynecologic surgery can often be combined with aesthetic procedures of the mid-section. The advantage of this is that you have one recovery rather than two. However, due to scheduling issues or medical need, it may not be possible to schedule things to be done at once. In this case, we typically recommend that you wait 6-12 weeks before undergoing the elective, cosmetic procedure to allow the surgical incisions to heal.

Answer: Tummy Tuck and Hysterectomy? Since you have already had your surgery, I would give yourself six weeks to heal and recover. At that point, having an abdominoplasty should be no problem. The best thing to do is to have a few consultations with board certified plastic surgeons and see what will work best for you. I hope this helps.
