What would happen if you had to have a laparoscopic surgery after you Tummy Tuck? Would it shrink back down? Damage?

The pressure of CO2 needed to properly insufflate the abdomen may be a bit higher for laparoscopic surgery after a tummy tuck.  Other than that, it should be fine.  Good luck and be safe.John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICSDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

There is a possibility that one of the incisions to place the camera for laparoscopy around the belly button could change the shape of that area, or even loosen the muscle repair.In my experience, this is unusual and I have had several patients in need of gall bladder removal and other procedures after the LBL or TT, and none had any problems.Best Wishes !Dr L
