Thank you for your question.  Yes it is possible to have cosmetic surgery after a spinal fusion.  I would recommend waiting some time after.  I would also recommend seeing a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in person to evaluate you and make a plan for your surgery.  Best of luck to you.

Spine fusion surgery does not make you an unsuitable candidate for a tummy tuck or lipo. However, it’s a good idea to discuss your desire to undergo a tummy tuck/liposuction with your primary care physician just to be on the safe side.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Provided you have healed from your spinal fusion, liposuction and TT surgery can be performed. Position during surgery and after surgery may cause some lower back pain, which should be temporary. Suggest that you discuss your TT plans with your neurosurgeon as he/she will have some guidelines for you to follow in lessening the temporary pain .

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Yes, you should be able to have a tummy tuck with liposuction after a spinal fusion.  This is assuming that you have fully healed from the fusion.  Be sure to discuss your full medical history with your board certified plastic surgeon.

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your question.  yes, assuming you have clearance from your back specialist, you can still have a tummy tuck or liposuction.  Hope this helps.
