Can a tummy tuck make your tubes come untied?

Question

Eugene Kim, MD · Answer

No, it is unlikely for your fallopian tubes to be "untied" after a tummy tuck.  During a tummy tuck procedure, usually the organs, including the fallopian tubes, are not exposed and all the surgery is done outside of the abdominal cavity.

Luis Macias, MD, FACS · Answer

No. The Fallopian tubes are located inside the abdomonal cavity and a tummy tuck is performed completely on the outside of the abdomen.  There is no possibiltiy that this can happen.

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

No, this is not a risk of the tummy tuck procedure.  The tummy tuck procedure involves re approximation of the abdominal wall muscles and removal of excess skin and subcutaneous tissues.  The reproductive organs are not involved. Best wishes.

Ronald Schuster, MD · Answer

No. The Fallopian tubes, which carry the eggs from the ovary to the uterus, are inside the abdominal cavity. Tummy tucks do not enter into the abdominal cavity.

Jeremy Pyle, MD · Answer

Tummy tuck involves removing excess skin and fat while tightening the stomach muscles.  The reproductive organs are never seen during a tummy tuck and are not affected.Best,Dr. Pyle
