CONTACT NOW Answer: Tummy Tuck While On Your Cycle Being on your menstrual cycle during tummy tuck surgery will have no negative impact on your results of surgery. The only concern with the two overlapping would be the discomfort- such as cramps or breast tenderness- associated your menstrual cycle. Still, you should rest assured that the date of your surgery need not be rescheduled because of this and that no specific risks or complications are associated with surgery during a woman’s menstrual cycle.

Answer: Okay to go through with surgery You may go through with the surgery if you're okay with it, although you should mention this to your surgeon just in case. I normally recommend patients wear a feminine napkin instead of a tampon during the surgery.

Answer: Cosmetic Surgery While Menstruating
Thank you for your question.
In our San Francisco Bay Area practice we do not require patients to reschedule their procedures due to menstruation. Cosmetic surgeries we perform do not involve the uterus so delaying treatment for this reason is unnecessary.
As always, all questions regarding medical issues and surgery should be discussed with your Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon prior to surgery.
I hope this helps.

Answer: Don't Postpone...
Postpone? Heck, I always tell my patients it’s the BEST time to get a tummy tuck! After surgery, you’re already shuffling around the house with a pillow pressed to your tummy, not going anywhere, not doing anything AND Percocet is better than Midol! I remember hearing in Medical School that there could be increased bleeding but I think none of us really believe that anymore. Now, redheads and bleeding? We probably ALL have stories about that!! It’s not much science, but we all have stories.
