Gallbladder pain after TT?

Question

Is it possible that a TT can cause gallbladder pain? I am 7 wks post op and a few days ago started getting pain on the upper rights side of my abdomen. It's a localized spot that causes a sharp pain with certain movements. And it is right where the gallbladder is located..

By no means a Superficial procedure (above muscle) which represents  a Tummy Tuck affects the gallbladder. In order to get a diagnosis you need to attend a Abdominal surgeon and get done an ultrasound. Dr. Cardenas

Andrew Kornstein, MD, FACS · Answer

Generally speaking abdominoplasty is not associated with GB disease, however, an abdominoplasty does not prevent GB disease. In otherwords, you may still have a GB issue, and need to see a doctor to have this evaluated.The fact that the pain is worse with movement may indicate it may be more muscular(did you have a muscle repair/tightening)? Also have you moved your bowels regularly? Constipation can cause pain.Hope this helps
