Can I have a tummy tuck if I have lung cancer?

Question

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

There is no straightforward answer to this question without knowing more information.  Begin by speaking to your oncologist and pulmonologist about your interest in a tummy tuck and discuss your surgical risk.  If given clearance you can then schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you.

I am sorry that you are going through this! 
If your cancer is in remission and you are not taking any chemotherapeutic medications, Tummytuck may be an option. You should discuss this plan with your medical doctor and oncologist first. If they agree, consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in our area and reveal all aspects of your medical history. Best of luck!
