How soon could I have a tummy tuck after abdominal hysterectomy?

May 27, 2014
Asked By:nina53

Three weeks ago I had an abdominal hysterectomy. The incision is horizontal, low on my belly. I lost over 100 lbs. but regained half of that. Tummy skin is loose and droopy enough to fold over my incision. I am trying to lose weight. How soon would I be able to have a tummy tuck after hysterectomy? I am 61. had an appendectomy at 17 and gall bladder at 30. I have scars from those surgeries too. I am more interested in losing the extra skin and some fat than I am concerned about scars.
