Dear Sexy145,A stuffy nose due to allergies (ie. mild allergic rhinitis) does not typically interfere with a tummy tuck. Severe rhinitis or a respiratory tract infection, however, usually does.If you are feeling under the weather a week or two before your scheduled procedure, please be sure to notify your surgeon.Warmest wishes,Larry Fan, MD
A stuffy nose usually does not hinder surgery. If you have general allergy of the entire respiratory track that would be a different story. Also if you have a fever then surgery would be cancelled. A simple stuffy nose alone would usually not preclude surgery. My Best, Dr C
