Will appendectomy ruin Tummy Tuck results? (photos)

Dear PSjourney,
it is unlikely that incisions made for laparoscopic appendectomy will have major negative effect on your tummy tuck results. You should always follow your surgeon's instructions.

The laparoscopic appendectomy should not affect the long term result of your tummy tuck. The hard mass is likely scar tissue from the port used to enter the tummy for the laparoscopic approach.

It is unlikely that the small incisions used for laparoscopy will affect the tightness of your stomach from a tummy tuck done four years ago. Compression may be of benefit to reduce the swelling. It would be reasonable to have your stomach checked by your plastic surgeon when the swelling has improved.
