I am 25 years old with four kids and my husband and I are done having babies. I am getting a tummy tuck done out of state, but my gynecologist wants to do the tubal ligation 2-3 weeks before my tummy tuck. Is that enough time to heal? Or should I ask him to do it before that?

Answer: Tummy tuck and tuboligatoin You could probably do what you are looking to do, but i would typically wait several months to make sure you are healed adequately from the first procedure. You may be able to find a plastic surgeon locally who works with your gynecologist to do the procedure at the same time.I often do this for patients who are having a tuboligation or hysterectomy so that patients only have to worry about one healing and recovery process.Also, consider the risks of doing a tummy tuck out of state. You have to be prepared to travel back to your surgeon in case you have a complication (infection, bleeding, prolonged need for a drainage tube, etc...). You may want to find a plastic surgeon locally who would be willing to help with your post-op care if you are set on going out of state.Good luck.
