It is difficult to say why you are still breaking out in hives. I think seeing an allergist at this point is a very good idea.It is imperative that you seek the advice of a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has extensive experience in tummy tuck/abdominoplasty. I wish you the best. Dr. Gabbay.

Hello,
Thank you for your question.
It is difficult to say without a full
assessment. It was a good idea booking a consultation with an Allergist, hopefully they can help you diagnose your allergy. All the best.
