Fibromyalgia is not a contraindication to having a tummy tuck. However, pain is accentuated in patients with fibromyalgia. Be sure it is under control so that the experience and recovery time is tolerable.Make sure your PS knows the medications and supplements you are on.I highly suggest seeking a PS who performs the No-Drain tummy tuck as the discomfort is much less as is the recovery time, and the risk of complications is less. Plus, you do not have the drains for 5-10 days after surgery, which patients despise.Thank you for your interesting question, and good luck to you.
It is possible to be a canddiate for a tummy tuck with fibromyalgia. You will want to be sure that your condition is well controlled. Also be sure to speak with your surgeon about all medications, including supplements that you take as some may need to be stopped before surgery. See only board certified plastic surgeons for consultations to optimize your results.
