I had a TT and liposuction done 8 years ago. My belly button was removed with excess skin and fat. Can I still safely have my gallbladder removed through laparoscopic method?
Answer: Lap GB Removal 8 years post TT Hi, thank you for your question. After 8 years post Tummy Tuck you should be fine for GB surgery. I suggest discussing this with your surgeon, just so he/she is aware of your past medical/surgical history. Best Wishes!#gallbladder #8yearspostTT #discusswithsurgeon

Answer: Surgery Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well. Yes, of course you can. But I recommend you to wait from 6 to 8 years after your tummy tuck procedure, you will not have any problem if you follow every instruction dictated for your surgeon.

Answer: Lapascopic Surgery after TT & Lipo Thank you for your question. It is perfectly safe to have a laparoscopic procedure after a tummy tuck. The abdominal wall structure is intact and unaffected by your prior surgery. The procedure can proceed as it normally would. Best wishes!

Answer: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy after abdominoplasty? ..Yes Great question Cathy!Laparoscopic surgery has been perfected over the past 25 years. It involves placing large trocars that are pushed through allowing instruments to pass into the abdominal cavity. These procedures can be performed after abdominoplasty. There is typically a trocar placed in the midline through the navel. Here there may be thicker tissues to go through if you had your muscle fascia tightened. This tightening is typically performed by a folding over of the muscle fascia layer in the midline secured with permanent sutures. I would mention this to your surgeon so she or he may move the trocar off the midline slightly within the navel to avoid this area. You are going to feel so much better. Thank you.
