How Long After a Hysterectomy Can a Person Get a Tummy Tuck?

Hi there-
In many cases, hysterectomy can safely be combined with a tummy tuck. Whether this is an option for you could only be answered by your gynecologist and your plastic surgeon.
If this option is not reasonable of preferable for some reason, I would wait at least 6-8 weeks between the two.

Clearly there are several options here. However, it is best to wait for the labwork. In the event that it is:

fibroids or another benign condition, the hysterectomy and abdominoplasty can be performed togetther. There may be added risks to performing a combined procedure which entails additional Operating room time. Some studies have suggested there is an increased risk of blood loss and potential for fatal blood clots.
a potentially malignant (cancer) condition, then surgery should be delayed until your optimal state of health is achieved. This may require additional surgeries or tests to determine the extent of the tumor and even require chemotherapy. In either event, cosmetic surgery should be delayed.

In the event that all is clear and you decide to undergo a 2 stage operation, the answer for timing of the second procedure is controversial. Traditionally, the answer has been 3-4 months for the following reason. Irregardless of the injury and tissue, healing generally requires 6 weeks (proliferative phase) to lay down scar tissue and another 6 weeks for that scar tissue to reorganize (maturation phase) to the point that it is soft, supple and can be manipulated. Therefore 12 weeks (3 months ) has been the traditional answer for reoperations on the same area. This can vary among individuals and can be affected by many other factors such as health, infections, co-existing disease, medications, etc.
