Can You Have Your Tubes Tied at the Same Time As a Tummy Tuck?

Question

Absolutely!  This is a great way to do 2 things with only 1 anesthetic and 1 recovery.  I encourage my patients to get this done at the same time if they want.

Hello Griffin, thank you for your question regarding having your tubes tied at the same time as a tummy tuck.

Yes, it is indeed possible to have a tubal ligation (getting your tubes tied) done at the same time as a tummy tuck. Combining these procedures can be convenient and can help you avoid undergoing two separate surgeries, which means only one recovery period.

When planning to have both procedures done simultaneously, it’s important to ensure that both your plastic surgeon and gynecologist are on board and coordinate their efforts. This collaboration is crucial to ensure that both procedures are performed safely and effectively.

The primary advantage of combining surgeries is that you’ll benefit from a single recovery period, which can reduce overall downtime and minimize the disruption to your daily life. Additionally, undergoing anesthesia once rather than twice is generally safer and more cost-effective.

However, it’s important to consider the potential risks and ensure you’re in good overall health. Combining procedures can slightly increase the complexity of the surgery and the time you spend under anesthesia. Therefore, it’s crucial to have a thorough preoperative evaluation and discuss all potential risks and benefits with both your surgeons.

I hope this helps to answer your question regarding combining tubal ligation with a tummy tuck. Good luck with your procedures!

Sincerely,

J. Timothy Katzen, MD, FASMBS, FICS

I have performed this procedure in combination with a gynecologist. Surgery can typically be performed on an outpatient basis in my experience.

Yes, it is possible to have a Tummy Tuck done at the same time as Tubal Ligation very easily. I have performed a Tummy Tuck along with a Gynecologist doing a laparoscopic Tubal Ligation.

Abdominoplasty procedures are commonly performed in conjunction with a gynecologic procedure. This may include a hysterectomy, oophorectomy, or ligation of the fallopian tubes. Of course, you should seek the advice of experts. A plastic surgeon is the only subspecialist qualified to perform abdominoplasty correctly whereas a ob/gyn is the only subspecialist qualified to perform surgery on your reproductive organs.
