I am 27 and the mother of 4 children by cesarean. I am having a hysterectomy in a couple months to put myself into menopausal not by choice. After, I'm not allowed to have abdominal surgery unless my life depends on it due to the 4 cesareans and scars etc. But I don't fit my skin. I have worked very hard to lose all of my baby weight now I am about 115 and 5'2 but I have about 3 in of skin hanging down over my scar. How likely will my doc or a plastic surgeon be to team up and work on me?
Answer: Tummy tuck after hysterectomy This is commonly performed, however it is not my preference. There are additional risk and complication with combining the two. I like to reduce the risk of a tummy tuck as much as possible because it is one of the more risky cosmetic surgery procedures. A significant amount of the deaths in plastic surgery is related to the tummy tuck procedure combined with other procedures and some of these patience are higher risk. I like to keep the risk and complication to a minimum. If you have a family they need you for a life time. I am different than most doctors answering this question but I would not want my wife to do both.

Answer: Tummy Tuck in combination with a Hysterectomy Can I have a tummy tuck with my hysterectomy? This is a fairly common request. If you are a healthy women, and have excess skin laxity and/or muscle laxity - it is very reasonable to perform these together as long as the total length of surgery is reasonable and the amount of blood loss is acceptable. You can think of it as a good thing that comes out of necessary surgery. Unfortunately, insurance considers the tummy tuck to be a cosmetic procedure and will not cover that portion of the surgery. Good luck.
