I'm considering a tummy tuck. What is the risk of bowel adhesions?

Dear Thoughtful897912,
during tummy tuck your surgeon will not open abdominal cavity so there is no risk of adhesions after the TT. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

During a tummy tuck the surgeon does not enter the abdominal cavity. This is a common misconception about tummy tucks. Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.
