I’m 37 years old and mother of 2. 4 days After the birth of my second child I developed an aortic aneurysm that dissected. I did not have surgical intervention and since I get my regular CT scans now every 18 months. I manage my blood pressure very well. I have had a complete knee reconstructive surgery Since and did fine. I’m schedule for a tummy tuck with lipo on November 14th but I’m starting to get quite nervous. Any opinions about undergoing this surgery with my medical history?

Answer: Do you have opinions on a tummy tuck with lipo after aortic aneurysm? Thank you for your pictures and questions. The pictures are dark and some additional photos would be helpful. However, if you are a surgical candidate, then you would likely be able to proceed if your regular doctor has given medical clearance. Make sure you discuss this with your chosen plastic surgeon and make sure he or she is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.Best of luck!Dallas R.

Answer: Do you have opinions on a tummy tuck with lipo after aortic aneurysm? If you're scheduled already for surgery- this issue should have been addressed by your Plastic Surgeon long ago. If you have clearance and support from your medical team, including whoever is following the aneurysm then the determination should have been made by now and your safety examined.

Answer: Aortic anuerysm The risk of aortic aneurysms has to do with their size (diameter) and the speed at which they might be expanding. As long as your aneurysm size is stable on your CT scans, and your blood pressure is well controlled, the procedure can be done at a baseline level of risk.
