Hello. Great question. Thank you for your pictures. In order to be considered a potential tummy tuck candidate, I will suggest obtaining medical clearance from your physician.
Dear mara25,if your disease is under control and you get a clearance from your doctor, you might be a candidate for a surgery. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
Hello! Thank you for your question. (Keep in mind that an in-person consultation is necessary for the best advice.) If you are otherwise healthy, undergo appropriate preoperative testing, and are medically cleared for surgery by your primary care physician and any specialists involved in your care. Best of luck!Matthew A. DelMauro, M.D.
If your condition is well controlled you may be able to proceed with surgery. A good place to start is to speak with your doctor who treats your Addison's disease about your desire for a tummy tuck. If granted medical clearance you can schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more about the procedure.
I recommend you get a Tummy Tuck with Liposuction 360. The reason why a Tummy tuck is recommended is because you initially want the fat removed by liposuction. The tummy tuck will take care of all the remaining sagging skin The combination will give you that hourglass shape.
Thank you for your question! It is ok to use arnica pre and post op. It helps with bruising and with post op pain. I recommend discussing specific post op medication or remedy questions with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck!
Hello! Thank you for your question. (Keep in mind that an in-person consultation is necessary for the best advice.) Scar revisions are often performed 6-12 months after surgery. I hope this answers your question. Best of luck! Matthew A. DelMauro, M.D.
