Is it possible to have a tummy tuck when having a hysterectomy?

Q:

Is it possible to have a tummy tuck when having a hysterectomy?

A:

It is certainly possible to have an abdominoplasty (tummy-tuck) at the same time as a hysterectomy. There is some increase in the risk of complications, but these are still relatively infrequent. The first few days after surgery are a little more difficult, but the overall recovery is not much different than if you had the hysterectomy alone.
