Would you be able to get a tummy tuck & lipo if you were born with gastroschisis? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. I have seen many patients with histories of abdominal surgeries, abdominal trauma, and congenital defects who have successfully undergone abdominoplasty. Your belly button will remain in the same position, with your skin re-draped over your belly button. I would anticipate a significant improvement in your upper and lower abdominal contour. Good luck.

Hello, thank you for your question. It is hard to tell without a physical examination. You may also need a medical clearance. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

That’s a great question and one that each surgeon would have to answer for themselves. A physical exam could help tell if you have any residual abdominal hernia in which case I would not perform the surgery.. too risky.
