Hysterectomy and Tummy Tuck in Atlanta, GA

Restore Your Health and Confidence with a Combined Procedure

For many women in Atlanta, combining a hysterectomy with a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) makes perfect sense. Both surgeries involve the lower abdominal area, and when coordinated properly, they can be performed safely during the same operation. This means a single anesthesia session, one recovery period, and a more complete transformation—both medically and cosmetically.

At Georgia Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Dr. Stanley Okoro, a double board-certified plastic surgeon, works closely with your gynecologist to ensure the highest level of safety and aesthetic results for women considering a hysterectomy tummy tuck in Atlanta.

Why Combine a Hysterectomy and Tummy Tuck?

Undergoing a hysterectomy is often necessary for a variety of medical reasons, but it can leave behind weakened abdominal muscles and loose skin. Adding a tummy tuck helps restore your abdominal tone, remove excess skin, and create a smoother, more youthful midsection.

Benefits of combining hysterectomy and tummy tuck include:

• Single anesthesia and recovery: Minimize surgical risk and downtime.

• Reduced overall cost: Shared facility and anesthesia fees make it more affordable.

• Enhanced cosmetic results: Address both internal and external concerns in one step.

• Improved confidence: Many women find emotional and physical relief knowing they’ve reclaimed their bodies.

Understanding the Hysterectomy Procedure

A hysterectomy is a surgical removal of the uterus (womb) and may include removal of the fallopian tubes and/or ovaries. It’s typically performed to relieve or treat serious gynecological conditions such as:

• Uterine fibroids

• Endometriosis

• Uterine prolapse

• Gynecologic cancers

• Chronic pelvic pain or infection

• Excessive menstrual bleeding

Your gynecologist will determine whether a partial, total, or radical hysterectomy is best for your medical needs.

Adding a Tummy Tuck for a Complete Transformation

A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, focuses on removing excess fat and skin while tightening underlying muscles for a flatter, more contoured abdomen. When combined with a hysterectomy, it can dramatically improve the abdominal area’s appearance and function.

At Georgia Plastic, Dr. Okoro offers:

• Full tummy tuck: Removes excess skin and tightens muscles from the upper and lower abdomen.

• Mini tummy tuck: Focuses on the lower belly area for women with mild laxity or a C-section “pooch.”

• Lipoabdominoplasty: Combines liposuction with tummy tuck for enhanced contouring.

Am I a Candidate for a Combined Hysterectomy and Tummy Tuck?

You may be a candidate if you:

• Are in good general health and cleared by your gynecologist.

• Have excess abdominal skin or weakened muscles after childbirth or weight changes.

• Need a hysterectomy for medical reasons.

• Have realistic expectations about results and recovery.

• Do not smoke or are willing to quit before surgery.

Safety and Coordination Between Surgeons

The safety of combined hysterectomy and tummy tuck surgery depends on your health, surgical plan, and surgeon collaboration. Dr. Okoro works directly with your gynecologist to coordinate surgery so both procedures are completed efficiently and safely—typically within 4 to 6 hours.

Key points to ensure safety:

• The gynecologist performs the hysterectomy first, followed by Dr. Okoro’s cosmetic portion.

• Procedures are done under one anesthesia period to minimize risk.

• Two board-certified specialists focus on their respective expertise to give you the best outcome possible.

Note: Your gynecologist must approve and agree to the combination. If they are uncomfortable with it, you may seek a second opinion or consultation with a cooperative surgical team.

Cost of a Combined Hysterectomy and Tummy Tuck

The cost of a tummy tuck varies based on your anatomy, surgical complexity, and any additional procedures. At Georgia Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, the average tummy tuck cost starts around $4,500, which may include:

• Surgeon’s fee

• Hospital or surgical facility fees

• Anesthesia costs

• Post-surgery garments and follow-up care

Since a hysterectomy is a medically necessary procedure, your insurance may cover a portion of the surgery and hospital stay. However, the tummy tuck portion is typically cosmetic and not covered by insurance. Our team can help you explore patient financing options to make your procedure affordable.

Recovery After Combined Surgery

Recovery depends on your body, procedure complexity, and overall health.
Most patients stay overnight for monitoring and can return home the next day.

Typical recovery timeline:

• Light activity after 7–10 days

• Resume most daily routines within 3–4 weeks

• Final results visible within 2–3 months as swelling decreases

You’ll receive detailed post-op instructions and follow-up appointments to ensure a smooth, safe recovery.
