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.

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.
Helloand thank you for your question. The short answer is 'no'. Generally speaking,a stable medical condition, adequately treated, should not preventyou 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-certifiedplastic surgeon for a more complete evaluation. Your plastic surgeon may wantto consult your primary care doctor or rheumatologist in order to determineyour candidacy.
