If I have had a uterine fibroid embolization, will I be able to get liposuction or a tummy tuck?

Thanks so much for your inquire,

If you have undergone uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), it's essential to consult with both your gynecologist and a board-certified plastic surgeon before considering liposuction or a tummy tuck.

Before undergoing any cosmetic surgery procedures like liposuction or a tummy tuck, it's crucial to discuss your medical history and previous procedures with both your gynecologist and plastic surgeon. They can evaluate your current condition, assess any potential risks, and provide personalized recommendations based on your individual circumstances.

The timing of cosmetic surgery procedures following UFE will depend on various factors, including your overall health, the extent of your recovery from UFE, and your surgeon's recommendations. It's essential to allow sufficient time for your body to heal and stabilize before undergoing additional surgical procedures.

After a uterine fibroid embolization you can still have a tummy tuck or liposuction. Your surgeon may want to get a medical clearance from the Dr. that you saw regarding your uterine fibroid embolization. Be sure to research a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to get a consultations.
