I had a TT with muscle repair and now I need a hysterectomy and I chose the laparoscopic hysterectomy with Divinci Assist. My question is will the outcome of the Hys affect my TT results, will I need revision of any sort? What happens when she goes through the belly button that was reconstructed, will I develop belly fat? Would you recommend a different type procedure over the other one? I don’t want to be vein and my health is important but I did pay 7k for the TT and I don’t want it messed up,.

Answer: Hysterectomy effect on old tummy tuck Dear Lawanna, Thanks for posting your before and after pictures and congratulation on what appears to be very nice outcome. Your hysterectomy has to be done for medical reasons, so there is no way to avoid it. From all types of hysterectomy techniques, the on that you chose - laparoscopic hysterectomy with DaVinci assistance, has the least deleterious effect on your tummy tuck surgery outcome. This is obviously my opinion, but it will be in your best interest to discuss this issue personally with your Gynecologist and bring up you concerns. Best of luck, Dr Widder

Answer: Will the outcome of the hysterectomy affect my tummy tuck results from four years ago? Thank you for the question. Most likely the planned procedure will not deleteriously effect the improvements achieved with the tummy tuck procedure. Discuss your concerns/questions directly with your GYN physician. Best wishes.
