It is probably okay but you should ask your surgeon for their advice as they know the specifics of your situation.

By completely numbing the abdomen with a very long lasting anesthetic at the time I perform my Tummy Tucks, I found out years ago that the vast majority of my patients stopped being bent over or hunched. Clearly, if the patient sustains little to no immediate post-surgical pain...
Thank you for your question regarding whether you can perform a tummy tuck and a gallbladder removal surgery simultaneously. Plastic surgeons get this question all the time. The consensus is no; you should not combine a gallbladder removal surgery with a tummy tuck or abdominoplasty. Combining...
