Personally I would wait. Just seems like it would be an extra thing that could limit how the surgeon sculpts the area.

I just got my tummy tuck two weeks ago, and I would suggest to wait till after you get yours. Depending on whether or not you need a full tuck, or just a mini....but I needed the full and my inscisions went all the way across to about the middle of my sides. I know that if I had a tattoo there that it would have turned out all mishapened. Good luck! :)

I would definitely wait on this. A tattoo costs a lot of money as does the Tummy Tuck. You want optimal results on both. :)

Yeah I'm thinking the same thing. Definitely don't want that ruined. Thanks everyone.

I had a tattoo about the size of a large orange on the front side of my left hip. I say "had" because after my Tummy Tuck I now only have the top half of two of my Iris flowers leaves and about 1/8 part of the top of the Iris flower. I will have to have the tattoo redone. My advice....WAIT!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
