Posted under Tummy Tuck q&a

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

glasswillow
I lost 120lbs via diet and exercise and am at the weight I would like to be (my BMI is 29). ALL of my bloodwork is normal (including liver function tests, liver enzymes, thromboplastin time, etc). Normal EKG, normal BP, no diabetes or pre-diabetes. However, my liver is still fatty (although vastly improved) and I still have some liver fibrosis (due to the fatty liver). My liver specialist said that I might be a candidate for elective surgery, but that it would be the surgeon's decision.
