Can one have a tummy tuck with family history of Hodgkin lymphoma?

Question

Will tummy tuck possibly cause lymph node problems with this family hx?

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

You can still be a candidate for a tummy tuck even if you have a family history of Hodgkin's Lymphoma.  If you have concerns about proceeding you can visit with your PCP to get clearance.  We welcome you to visit us in our Houston office for a consultation!

Once you have the clearance from the doctor who follows you for your Hodgkin's lymphoma, then you can have your tummy tuck.

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

You can certainly  get a tummy tuck with your family history. Not a bad idea to get this cheated through your personal physician.

Daniel Barrett, MD · Answer

Dear NaPerez,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, you should be healthy prior to elective procedure. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

As long as you are healthy and do not have active lymphoma, you could safely have abdominoplasty or any other elective procedure.
