Do tummy tucks cause permanent vaginal dryness?

Hi,. The two are totally unrelated. If antibiotics nare prescribed a yeast infection may occur. Dryness is more a function of hormones. Good luck Dr PG

A tummy tuck deals only with loose abdominal skin, subcutaneous fat, and tightening the abdominal muscle wall. The vagina nor other organs are manipulated. Medications taken after surgery can have various side effects as can diet but the surgery itself would not impact the vagina.

After 45 years of practicing plastic surgery, you would think that you have heard all of the questions, but that is a new one. No, vaginal dryness should not be caused by an abdominoplasty.Vaginal dryness is caused by hormonal changes in the vast majority of times. Have your doctor (someone who specializes in hormone replacement therapy) get lab work to get your estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels to assess your hormone status if you are having problems.Thank you for your questions, and good luck
