I need to have a partial hysterectomy due to a large (12x9x9) fibroid. I want to have a tummy tuck at the same time. I am sure this has been done before. I will be 50 years old. I want to do something for me. Thoughts?
Answer: Hysterectomy and tummy tuck at the same time? Although online consultants cannot provide you with specific advise regarding the “safety” and suitability of this combination surgery for you, the two operations can certainly be done safely for the appropriately selected patient. Best to be as close to possible to your long-term stable weight prior to proceeding. Make sure you have chosen your surgeons carefully. Best wishes.

Answer: Combining procedures A tummy tuck can be done at the same time as a hysterectomy and I have done this occasionally. The preoblem you run into is cost. The added cost of the hospital for the cosmetic procedure is often large enough to make not financially a good idea. I can assure you, the hospital will want several thousand dollars up front to cover these costs and you may even get billed additionally later.

Answer: Hysterectomy and tummy tuck at the same time? While these combined surgical procedures have been performed together, most experienced plastic surgeons feel that this is a bad combination of surgical procedures to undergo at the same time. There is an increased risk of bleeding, infection, deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and subsequent pulmonary embolism with this specific combination. Robert Singer, MD FACS La Jolla, California

Don't forget to discuss all your concerns, options and expectations thoroughly. Have a safe and pleasant PS Journey!Respectfully,Dr. Jaime Campos-LeonBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Hysterectomy and Abdominoplasty Hysterectomy and Abdominoplasty at the same time is a common combination. It is great because there is one recovery and some hospital charges may get included under insurance (in and out of room time, overnight stay). There may be an increased risk of surgical problems and these should be discussed and trade offs accepted.
