Answer: Tummy tuck candidate Dear arietta725, you might need to get a clearance from your doctor in order to be a candidate for a tummy tuck. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Can you have a tummy tuck after being diagnosed with pancreatitis Yes, you can have a tummy tuck if you have a history of pancreatitis as long as the condition has resolved. A tummy tuck is a great way to remove excess skin and fat as well as address abdominal wall laxity. For optimal results it is best to pursue surgery when a patient is at a healthy, stable weight.

Answer: Can you have a tummy tuck after being diagnosed with pancreatitis? (Photos) Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Assuming you have healed completely from the pancreatitis you would be a candidate for a tummy tuck +/- liposuction upon reaching a stable, goal weight. Hope this helps.

Answer: Tummy tuck after pancreatitis As long as the pancreatitis has resolved and you are cleared medically, you can have a tummy tuck.Unfortunately, a tummy tuck is not a quick fix for weight loss. It will remove problem skin and fat, but it will not remove internal fat. For best results, weight loss first would allow more body contouring via tummy tuck afterwards.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to best discuss your options and expectations.
