Answer: Are hemorrhoids common after tummy tuck? Constipation due to pain medication following tummy tuck would not be unusual, and may aggravate hemorrhoids which you previously had. You may just need a stool softener. However a change in bowel movements may suggest something else unrelated to a tummy tuck.
