Is It Safe to Have a Tummy Tuck with Kidney Stones?

As always you would want medical clearance prior to your surgery. It would be a good idea to hydrate especially well prior to your surgery.  It should not be a problem as long as you are hydrated.

As long as you're cleared by your medical doctor and/or your urologist it's probably okay to proceed with your tummy tuck. However, you might need to take some extra precautions (like good hydration or extra medications) before any cosmetic surgery procedure.  Good luck!

Hi dh1234

There is no reason that you cannot proceed with your tummy tuck if you have kidney stones. Your anaesthetist (anesthesiologist) will want to ensure that you get plenty of fluids during your procedure, and may request a urinary catheter to monitor how your kidneys are going during the operation. The only other consideration will be to make sure that any of your post-operative pain is not from the kidney stones and misdiagnosed because people are focussing on your recent procedure.

Good Luck
