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 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.
