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: 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 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.
