I have Endometriosis and need a biopsy but I want to be sure the tumor is in fact that before my tummy tuck. The tumor is on my abdomen muscle wall and my surgeon says she can remove it if so

Answer: Can I have a biopsy a week before tummy tuck? Hello @Magical109017, thank you for our question. Due to the inflammation in the area, you should wait for a more appropriate time. This is taking into account the recommendations of the doctor performing the intervention, which may vary depending on the technique used to perform the process. For more information and recommendations, it is prudent to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Tummy tuck I would ask your surgeon what the mass might be. It could be something quite simple like a lipoma which is pretty easy to determine. In that case removing it at the same time as the tummy tuck makes sense.
