Question

Can U Get a T. Tuck After Your Omentum Has Been Removed?

Sean Younai, MD, FACS · Answer

omentum is inside the abdomen. its previous removal has no effect on your ability to have a tummy tuck.

Otto Joseph Placik, MD · Answer

A tummy tuck should not be effected by your prior history of omental resection unless you have a resulting hernia or transverse scar which could require more extensive surgery or interfere with the blood supply to the skin, respectively.

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

The omentum is found deep to the muscle layers and in no way will get in the way of a tummy tuck. You should be fine.

Peter A. Aldea, MD · Answer

It itself an omentectomy (the removal of the fatty apron draping from the greater curvature of the stomach) is not significant except when done in cancer cases. If you had or , worse yet, are recovering from cancer surgery then you should clear this with your cancer doctors. Otherwise - there is NO reason why you could not have a Tummy Tuck after an omentectomy.
