Question

it is in remission, and has a possible overlap with lichen sclerosis. Not active.

Dear kserick,

it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. You might need a clearance from your doctor prior to surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Yes, you can have a tummy tuck if the morphea is inactive. Dermatologist clearance is recommended, as the condition may affect healing and scarring.
