Is it possible to get a tummy tuck and tubal ligation at the same time?

Question

I'm looking to have a tummy tuck and tubal ligation at the same time. Hoping to get an answer on here from a Plastic surgeon or Gynecologist in or around Vancouver B.C. who has experience with this. I understand they will need to be on the same slate and both have admitting privileges. I have heard it can be done but it's been a lot of calling around to find a place that is willing. Thank you in advance!

Thank you for your question. The bottom line is that this could be a reasonable combination, but you would have to find two surgeons who work at the same facility and would be willing to schedule the procedure together.Best of luck!

Tummy tuck and laparoscopic tubal ligation are very compatible. You will need to find a board certified plastic surgegon that works in the same center and would be able to do this as a combined procedure with your gynecologic doctor.
