Is tummy tuck recommended after appendicitis surgery?

Ideally, tummy tuck surgery is effective for removing excess skin and/or tightening the skin and underlying muscle. I would advise you to lose an excess weight prior to booking a tummy tuck consultation. Best, Dr. Nazarian

A tummy tuck after having an appendectomy should be possible. Regarding your weight, it’s always best to be at a stable one before your surgery. This allows you to have longer lasting results, because any excessive weight gain after your surgery will affect your tummy contour.

Thank you for the question. Yes, you should be able to undergo tummy tuck surgery after appendectomy. Generally speaking, the “ideal” patient for tummy tuck surgery is one who has completed pregnancies, is psycho socially/emotionally/financially stable, has an excellent social support system surrounding him/her, is capable of arranging enough recovery time, does not smoke and who has reached a long-term stable weight.  To maintain the best long-term results, you will want to maintain a healthy lifestyle and stable weight after surgery as well.
