I spoke to my GYN dr and he said that it would be fine. I would like to hear from people that perform These surgeries. He said mine is about 12 wks big.

Answer: Tummy tuck Hello and thank you for your question. A tummy tuck can safely be performed in the setting of fibroids. If the fibroids are large and require removal by your GYN surgeon, then have that performed first and three months later you could undergo a tummy tuck. If you are an appropriate candidate, a tummy tuck can be done through a low and short incision, all completely below the bikini line. Your muscles can also be plicated resulting in a flat abdomen. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
