Would it shrink back down? Damage?

John Nguyen, MD, FACS · Answer

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
