Can a tummy tuck be done on someone with dermatographia (skin writing)?

Dermatographia alone should not present a problem with surgery. Best wishes on your upcoming surgery.Kind regards,

Yes!  You can have a tummy tuck with a tattoo.  It will alter the graphic, but we can decide together where you would like things to end up.  We can try to minimize the distortion and make it easy to touch up afterwards if possible.

Thanks for your inquiry.  If your dermatographia is inot a symptom of some other more significant health problem, ie auto-immune diseases, psoriasis, etc, it should be no problem.  If you do have some sort of autoimmune condition or psoriasis then you will need to discuss further with yuor plastic surgeon.  In most people dermatographic is a benign process.  Hope that helps and good luck.  

Hi, thanks for your inquiry. There is no contradiction for having a procedure like a tummy tuck if you have art in your skin, The drawing or text might be altered with the procedure and you might want to have it redone. Please make sure that you and your surgeon are on the same page. Don't
forget to discuss all your concerns, options and expectations
thoroughly. Have a safe and pleasant PS Journey!Respectfully,Dr. Jaime Campos-Leon

Tummy tuck can be done with abdominal tattoos or any other writings on abdominal wall.   It may disturb the script or the tattoo and re-scripting and re-tattooing may be required.
