Sacha Obaid, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question! Yes, patients with hyperthyroidism can have a tummy tuck procedure, however pre surgical clearances May be required, such as labs and a letter of clearance from your primary care provider. I hope this helps!

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

If your hyperthyroid condition is well controlled and your levels are normal a tummy tuck is a possibility for you.  Work with your primary care physician or whomever you see for your thyroid condition to discuss your interest in a tummy tuck.  The stress from surgery can impact thyroid levels.

Dear Farume, 
  
Thank you for your query. If your thyroid is under control with medication you can undergo a tummy tuck surgery,please consult your physician and a board certified plastic surgeon and discuss in detail.
