Female, 55 & tummy tuck 2 years ago, is there any chance of cancer from that surgery?

There is no known link between tummy tuck surgery and cancer. This is inclusive of a mini, standard, extended, and fleur de lis approaches. Please see your surgeon for any concerns.

Hello Celebrated648270, there's never been an association between this kind of surgery and cancer. However, the areas that are worked on can have many different things happen to them (abdominal wall, intraabdominal contents) which can appear on their own before, during or after surgery. If you experience any symptoms after your surgery, get an assessment because while this surgery shouldn't affect your chances of developing cancer, it doesn't remove the chances of having something else happen at the same time as healing from it.
