I had a small bowel obstruction caused by adhesions. No bowel was resected. I have a 3 inch abdominal scar which has healed really well. I was physically fit before surgery and am back to full exercising including abdominal exercises. I had scheduled my tummy tuck before my abdominal surgery.

Answer: Tummy Tuck / Abdominoplasty / Liposuction / Mommy Makeover / Reverse Abdominoplasty I appreciate your question.I would recommend that you wait until you are fully healed so you can achieve an optimal result. Please discuss timing of Tummy Tuck with your surgeon as he/she may recommend pushing back another month or two. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Schwartz

Answer: How soon to have surgery Often times, surgeons would prefer you to be fully healed from any previous major surgery before undergoing an elective procedure. I would recommend you discuss this with both your plastic surgeon as well as your general surgeon to make sure both physicians can agree on when it is safe to proceed with your tummy tuck. Safety should be your surgeon's first priority.
