Answer: Removing GB after abdominoplasty At three months post op you should be fine. A call to your plastic surgeon would be a good idea. The operation to remove your gall bladder is almost always done laparoscopically so you should have minimal scar issues. I would advise you to be proactive about getting your plastic surgeon involved however. They do not necessarily need to be there for the operation but it may benefit you to give your plastic surgeon the option of speaking with your general surgeon. Good luck!

Answer: Gallbladder removal after a tummy tuck I am sorry to hear about the problem you are having with gallstones. You should be able to undergo cholecystectomy, despite having undergone the previous tummy tuck surgery. Obviously you will want to let your general surgeon know of your past surgical history. He/she will potentially change their approach depending on the presence of scar tissue. Best wishes.

Answer: Cholecystectomy after a tummy tuck is done routinely around the world. You must let your general surgeon know of the procedures you've had so he/she can be best prepared for choosing access sites for her instruments. If you are not having symptoms (the presence of stones alone does not mean your gall bladder must come out right away), you can certainly wait on this and delay your surgery if you desire.
