Tummy Tuck After Donating a Kidney

No, the scar that is 5 years old in fact will strengthen the tummy tuck blood supply.  I've done this often with old gallbladder scars and they move considerably with the surgery but they don't really seem to alter the cosmetic result other than if the scar is unable to be removed you can see it.

The concern with the kidney incision is the compromise of the blood supply and the skin of the lower abdomen may die. However, modifications such as a midi abdominoplasty can be performed. In fact in the video in the link below at 1:30 is a patient with a prior nephrectomy who underwent a modified tummy tuck;.

It really depends where the incision is located. However, with the current advances in cosmetic surgery often this is not a problem.  The newer techniques, from ted Lockwood, spares much of the blood supply in a tummy tuck.  This results in a much healtier tissue and better healing. Discuss this with your plastic surgeon, he will discuss this in detail.
