Is a CT scan following a tummy tuck safe?

Asked By:Hello2kitty4 in Toronto, ON

I had a tummy tuck, muscle repair and umbilical hernia repair preformed just over a year ago and have since developed a suspected hernia LRQ. Given the shifting of anatomy a tummy tuck causes, the dr would like to confirm with CT. Is there anything that would contradict a CT scan from my tummy tuck (suture material, etc)? It's a silly question but I'm pretty worried
