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

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.
A Tubal Ligation can be done at the same time as a Tummy Tuck. if done after the loose skin has been raised by the Plastic surgeon, there will be NO outside scars. The only issue is getting two busy surgeons to coordinate their schedules. Dr. Peter Aldea
Tummy tucks are a very popular and effective way to contour the abdomen. In our practice, we routinely perform tummy tucks with other surgical procedures such as a hernia repair or gynecologic surgeries such as a hysterectomy or a tubal ligation. Patients appreciate a single recovery process, the absence of scars from the other surgeries, and how insurance companies can help pay for a portion of this procedure.

This is not an uncommon request although it is usually phrased the other way around: Can a tummy tuck be performed at the time of a tubal ligation? The only thing that is required is communication and cooperation between your gyncologist and your plastic surgeon.
It is safe and not uncommon to have your tubes tied and a tummy tuck at the same time. The surgery will be more complicated to set up but it is fine to do.
