I'm 30 yrs. old, 5' 3", 185lbs. I have super skinny arms and legs, but a huge belly. I look like I'm pregnant! I have 2 children (both delivered by cesarian) and would like to have a mommy make-over (breast lift, tummy tuck, & lipo) done and have my tubes tied as well. Is it best to do one before the other or is it safe to do all in one surgery? Thank you!!

Answer: Tummy Tuck with tubal ligation Hi there- Generally speaking, I would not personally want to perform a tummy tuck on anyone on the day of a tubal ligation... These are usually done laparascopically nowadays, meaning that your GYN is going to fill your abdomen with gases- which would make the tummy tuck a bit more difficult and may compromise your outcome. Further, the combination of the gas in your belly and the tightening of your muscles will increase abdominal pressure a lot and may increase your risk of blood clots in your legs... Not safe in my opinion. I would also agree with my colleagues that it would be in your best interests to lose some weight before spending your money on a tummy tuck.

Answer: Mommy Makeover and Tubal Ligation at the same time At 5'3" and 185 lbs you have a BMI of over 32 and are considered at least 40 pounds over your ideal body weight. Your risks for complications are higher including DVT with PE (fatal blood clot). Measures to diminish this risk are availalable but not without other possible side effects or complications. In addition, the cosmetic outcome would be less than ideal.
