I have bowel adhesions from an emergency splenectomy, a hysterectomy and 2 c-sections. I just had a partial nepfrectomy and my kidney doctor said there was a lot of scar tissue to work around. I said I thought scar tissue could be cut away. He said not to touch it unless absolutely necessary. Does that knock me out of ever having a tummy tuck?
Answer: I have major scar tissue and bowel adhesions - can I still have TT? A personal examination would have to be performed to make that determination. If the scars are on your abdominal skin and are a problem with a tummy tuck, there may be other procedures that would help, such as a liposuction with a mini-tummy tuck or a Renuvion, which would tighten the skin. Or a reverse tummy tuck if this can be done and is a viable procedure for your problem

Answer: Tummy tuck That’s a great question. You can have a tummy most likely. With a tummy tuck the surgeon doesn’t enter the abdominal cavity where your adhesions and scar tissue are from prior surgery. Of course each patient is different and I’m speaking in generalities.

Answer: I have major scar tissue and bowel adhesions - can I still have TT? Thank you for sharing your question. As the scar tissue and bowel adhesions are deeper than the layers worked upon during a tummy tuck it does not eliminate your ability to have one. What must be considered more is the style and number of incisions used to address any adhesions in the past as well as your previous surgeries. Hope this helps.
