I want a drainless tummy tuck. Do I need to wait a time period after having major back surgery?

In general, having had back surgery is not a contraindication to abdominoplasty surgery. Most would wait six months or so prior to embarking on abdominoplasty. If there is concern, you should speak with your back physician and for sure you should let the plastic surgeon know and also make sure the anesthesiologist is aware. If one has a higher body mass index, one is at higher risk for certain postoperative complications and also the cosmetic result is not optimal. It is always wise to try to lose weight through dieting prior to embarking on abdominoplasty with associated liposuction.

Dear Humorous441083,
you should be fully healed prior to an elective procedure. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Whether drain less or not the timing of a tummy tuck relative to your back problems is made on an individual basis. If you go on some consults you will at least have some idea when it could be done
