It is quite common that people with diabetes, htn, and
cholesterol wish to undergo abdominoplasty procedures to improve their
abdominal contour. I tell patients that it is best for all medical conditions
to be controlled and optimized prior to abdominoplasty or panniculectomy
surgery.
It is quite common that these medical conditions often
improve after abdominoplasty or panniculectomy surgery. Patients require a
reduction in their dose of anti-hypertensive medication, their blood glucose
and hemoglobin A1C levels improve, and so can some conditions such as back pain
improve.
