You will need to consult with the transplantation service for their clearance. I would recommend a plastic surgery consultation in the department of that same institution to coordinate. The scars on your abdomen from the prior procedures will have to be evaluated to see what could be done safely as the scars may make a traditional abdominoplasty not safe. On the other hand, some abdominal improvement might be considered reconstructive and covered by insurance. An evaluation in those two Departments will give you both answers about safety, what can be done, and what even might be covered by insurance

Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Assuming you can get medical clearance from your transplant team, and regular medical doctor, you should not be limited in pursuing surgery. Hope this helps.
