I have 2c-sections already and want to have a tummy talk ,can I have a tummy talk with multiple fibriod inside my tummy
Answer: It is possible to have both surgeries at the same time. I usually coordinate the surgical date so the gynaecologist can do the fibroid surgery first and then I would perform the tummy tuck surgery. If your gynaecologist doesn't think you need surgery for the fibroids then obviously you can have a tummy tuck. The only reason not to have a tummy tuck first would be if your fibroids are so large that they are changing the contour of your abdomen. In that case you should have the fibroid addressed in a separate surgery.

Answer: Tummy tuck and fibroids Depending on the size of your fibroids and the recommendation of your gynecologist, you may want to have the fibroids addressed either prior to your tummy tuck or at the same time if the surgery can be combined together. In my practice, I perform combination procedure with gynecologist for one recovery and one anesthesia. Large fibroids may decrease the degree of muscle tightening you can expect after surgery.

Answer: Fibroids and a tummy tuck timing Thanks for your questionYes, you can have a tummy tuck if you have fibroids, but it would make sense to get an idea from your Ob/Gyn as to whether your fibroids are likely to require surgery. If there is a high likelihood you may want to have the fibroids taken care of first. Fibroid surgery can be taken care of after tummy tuck but it might impact your aesthetic outcome.Hope this helps.Best wishes.

Answer: Tummy Tuck and Fibroids Thank you for your question. It is possible to have a tummy tuck if you have fibroids. You should discuss the treatment plan and the likelihood of needing future surgery with your OB/GYN. Some fibroids require no treatment, others can be treated with endovascular ablation without surgery, and more severe ones require direct removal or hysterectomy. If you are in the severe category, you may want to delay your tummy tuck until they have been treated or consider a tummy tuck at the same time. Combining procedures can be done if the risk of a blood clot is managed appropriately. Best wishes..
