Hello, a 32 year old woman.I was involved in a very serious accident almost 2 months ago.i had internal bleeding so my stomach was cut open all the way down, I had a lacerated liver.my stomach was stapled together and now looks very bad.would I be a candidate for a tummy tuck? And how long would I have to wait for my incision scar to heal? Is it possible insurance can cover the surgery? Thank you.

Answer: Tummy tuck after car accident? Be proud of your scars from the general surgeons at Palomar, reminders that your life was saved.Maybe abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) or plastic surgical revision would improve them, but wait at least a year or so after your initial procedure.Because the procedure is aesthetic, unless you have an incisional hernia, it's not likely your health insurance benefits include abdominoplasty, tummy tuck, or scar revision.

It is unlikely that it would be covered by your insurance. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to be assessed in person. My best,
