Would Gilbert's syndrome and be a limiting factor to have a tummy tuck?

Dear Nani1987,Gilbert syndrome should not be a limiting factor when undergoing a tummy tuck surgery. You will need a medical clearance before surgery, which is typical for most plastic surgery practices.Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more.Nirmal R. Nathan, M.D.

Having GS does not create any serious consequence.  You may notice mild jaundice when exposed to the stress of the TT.  Otherwise, a clearance from your PCP or internist who is overseeing your medical condition would suffice for you proceeding with the TT.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Assuming your levels have been stable, your doctor clears you for surgery, and you are an otherwise good candidate, you should be able to have a tummy tuck without issue.  

Hello
and thank you for your question. The short answer is 'no'. Generally speaking,
a stable medical condition, adequately treated, should not prevent
you from getting a tummy tuck. Gilbert's syndrome only causes mild jaundice with no interference in liver function. I would suggest that you see a board-certified
plastic surgeon for a more complete evaluation. Your plastic surgeon may want
to consult your primary care doctor or rheumatologist in order to determine
your candidacy.

Dear Nani1987,
you will need to get a clearance from your doctor prior to surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
