Asked By:galapago in Miami, FL

I am 58 years old woman , with a good health . But I suffer of a moderate meralgia paresthetica that produces me some pain at the external flank of my left leg . I am thinking of undergouing a tummy tuck , but wondering if the meralgia could be an additional added risk to that major surgery .
