Tummy Tuck and Interstitial Cystitis Okay?

June 2, 2012
Asked By:CA Lady

I have interstitial cystitis, its very mild, I only have a flare about once a month or so, and last a few hours. I've always wanted a TT and am wondering if any doctors can tell me if they have done TT on IC patients before. The problem is, when I get an IC flare, my belly swells to very large size and I of course have extreme pain. Would having a TT surgery cause IC pain? Would a flare(with swelling) cause harm to a healing TT. Are there any PS doctors with this experience? In need of answers!
