Is it okay to get a tummy tuck and BBL after a miscarriage?

jacebo92Aug 29, 2016

I had scheduled surgery (tummy tuck and bbl) for September 30th (one month away). Then I found out I was pregnant, but I then had a miscarriage. Is it safe to continue with surgery? Or how long should I wait?

I am sorry you suffered this rare but devastating complication. This usually occurs in smokers (even second-hand smoke or one nicotine gum, etc.), in patients who have liposuction in areas of the blood supply to the abdominal skin, too-tight closure, or in the random 1-2% where everything is...

There is a tendency for such delayed healing in combination surgery like hernia repair and tummy tuck.  This is not unusual..annoying to have to deal with yes...unusual no.  Hang in there and keep close touch with your plastic surgeon.  This will heal.Good luck.Dr Vasisht
