Can I have a tummy tuck if I have a fatty liver (with some liver fibrosis)?

Thank you for your question. Congratulations on your weight loss. Based on your history, you are an ideal candidate for surgery. I would advise you to
schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed
examination to discuss all possible treatment options and what your
expectations are. Best of luck to you!
 

The health of your liver will need to be assessed before surgery is considered.  Your hepatologist or internal medicine specialist who is overseeing the treatment of your liver fibrosis would need to provide your medical records to a board certified PS for him/her to determine if a TT would be safe for you to undergo. Because your liver specialist has reservations about your candidacy for elective surgery, you might want to wait until you have clearance from your liver specialist as he/she is most familiar with your health history.

It all depends on how severe your liver function is compromised.  It doesn’t sound like yours is bad at all.  I would have no problem performing a tummy tuck but would need medical clearance from your regular doctor and the okay from our anesthesiologist

I think it is important that you get written medical clearance from your medical doctors prior to ypur elective surgery. If your liver is still improving, it seems prudent to wait until this stabilizes and reassess the situation. I don't necessarily think this should be the plastic surgeons determination of safety.

Congrats on your weight loss! In person exam is essential as well as reviewing medical history. Also, all necessary medical clearances must be obtained prior to elective surgery. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS for in person exam

Dear glasswillow.
As long as you get a clearance from your doctor, you might be a candidate for a surgery. 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.

Assuming all of your labs are normal and your liver specialist clears you for surgery you can have a tummy tuck. Make sure your surgeon has operating privileges at a local hospital in case of an emergency.Best

If you care cleared by your liver specialist for surgery, then I see no reason you can't have the surgery. Congratulations on your weight loss. That's quite an accomplishment. Fortunately liver cells do regenerate with a nutritious diet.I highly recommend the no-drain tummy tuck for a shorter recovery time, less pain, lower incidence of complications, and you will not be encumbered with drains for 5-10 days. I've used the technique now for over 7 years without a single seroma (accumulation of fluid) in about 350 tummy tucks. Patients love it because of the fast recovery time and diminished discomfort.Check with your plastic surgeon and get a letter of clearance from your liver specialist, and go for it. You have earned it.Thank you for your interesting question, and good luck.

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
From your description, it appears you are a good candidate for plastic surgery. Unfortunately, without pictures, it is very difficult to give you a proper answer. l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

If your medical doctor gives you the approval for surgery, then you should be able to have surgery. I would suggest getting a letter from your medical doctor stating you may have elective surgery and presenting to your surgeon during your consultation.
