I have been diagnoseed with a non-alcoholic fatty liver, can I still get a tummy tuck?

You may still be a candidate for a TT but make sure you tell your plastic surgeon about this condition during your initial consultation. Your plastic surgeon will most likely require a medical clearance from your doctor who is following you for the fatty liver. Good luck!

Thanks for the question.Despite a fatty liver, you may still be a candidate for a tummy tuck.Let your Plastic Surgeon know about this condition during your consultation. He will work with you and your gastroenterologist or medical doctor to see if you are a candidate for a tummy tuck. The liver is important for blood clotting, wound healing and drug absorption.You will probably have a medical workup that will include lab tests that focus on your liver function and bleeding times. If your history, physical exam and lab work all check out, then you may still be a candidate for a tummy tuck.Thanks for the question and Good Luck!

Thank you for your question. You may still get TT if you are a right candidate. Please make sure you reveal this to your PS. Please consult with a board certified PS for evaluation.
