Good Evening, I’m scheduled to have a 5cm Ovarian Cyst removal next week, my Surgeon suggested while having the procedure he could remove my fatty hanging skin on my lower belly and this will also lift my saggy vagina. Basically a mini tummy tuck. I’ve had 3 csections and this seems very appealing but I’m a little hesitant. Is this Kind of procedure possible? He is the Chief surgeon of Robotic surgery and Reconstructive surgery for Women’s Health. I would really appreciate any advice? Thank you

Answer: Tummy tuck Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your description, I would recommend re-thinking this plan. A tummy tuck should only be performed by a plastic surgeon who is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. It does not sound like this is the case here. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Answer: Tummy tuck What he is planning to perform us a pretty simple procedure although it is really in the realm of plastic surgery. Your surgeon may have done this previously and be quite good at it. It is reasonable to have this done at the same time as your other surgery and even though he is not a plastic surgeon it is very low risk.
