Thank you for your question! Yes it is possible to have a tummy tuck with fibromyalgia. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon, who can create a personalized plan for you based on your medical history. Best of luck!
It is possible to get a tummy tuck even with fibromyalgia, however it’s important that your primary care physician and plastic surgeon are both aware of your condition and clear you for surgery. Please note that recovery period may be more intense for you.
Having fibromyalgia will not prevent you from having a TT, but you should be aware that you have higher intensity pain, which may make post-op more painful and the recovery period longer. But the TT does not exacerbate the fibromyalgia. You would need clearance from your PCP or rheumatologist along with the list of medications you are taking to share with the board certified plastic surgeon and board certified anesthesiologist.
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.
Dear Cool8417,Fibromyalgia is not a contraindication for tummy tuck surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
