What damage will occur to tummy tuck procedure if you have to have abdominal hysterectomy? Any need for revisions later?

I assume by your question that you have already had the tummy tuck procedure and now it is being recommended that you have an abdominal hysterectomy.  Ultimately, the GYN should be able to go through the same incision as your tummy tuck, but the problem will be entering your abdomen through the previous muscle repair.  I would suggest talking to your GYN to make sure he/she is comfortable with operating through a previous tummy tuck incision and if not, perhaps your previous (or if not available, a new) plastic surgeon could be available to help with the procedure, though this may be difficult to coordinate.  Another possibility is to ask your GYN if the hysterectomy can be done laparoscopically or vaginally or even with robotic assistance to avoid as much damage to your abdomen as possible.  Best of luck with your surgery!

Thanks for your question.  There should not be any issues with this if the hysterectomy is being performed more than a year after your tummy tuck.   I would followup with your plastic surgeon 4-6 months after the procedure for a checkup if you have concerns.   All the best.

If your gynecologist uses the same incision as your tummy tuck and closes all of the usual layers, then you can expect little negative effects to the results of your tummy tuck.  If you are in doubt about these issues, you could have your gynecologist talk to your plastic surgeon about this to make sure everyone is on the same page.

As long as your OB-GYN closes the anterior abdominal fascia after the hysterectomy there should be no problems with your abdominoplasty result.  

Hysterectomy will disrrupt your muscle repair.  Thus a tightening may or may not be needed in addition to simple repair of muscles after hysterectomy.   Situation will vary individually.
