Is it possible to have a tummy tuck after colon resection?

Thank you for your questions. Depending on how the procedure was done and the scars on your abdomen, you may still be a candidate for a tummy tuck. However, the complexity of the procedure is elevated as well as the risks and your PS may need to get your general surgeon involved in the procedure. So expect for the cost of your procedure to reflect the complexity. To really get your questions answered, you need to see a local board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation.Good luck!

Generally, prior abdominal surgery is not a contraindication to undergoing a tummy tuck. It is difficult to tell whether you are a good candidate
for a full extended tummy tuck and liposuction of selective areas without
a physical examination and complete medical history. It would depend on your
anatomical findings, motivation, realistic expectations, and whether you are
finished having children.
The best long term cosmetic results with the least likelihood of potential
complications are achieved in patients who weigh within 10 pounds of their
ideal weight and have a BMI less than 30.
If a member of my family underwent these procedures, they would be performed by
an experienced plastic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of
Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic
Plastic Surgery. If you are serious about undergoing these procedures, you
should have a thorough consultation with a plastic surgeon having those
credentials, who will fully explain what is entailed in the procedures,
including both the positives and potential problems. I would also suggest a medical clearance from your primary physician.
