I need an umbilical hernia and abdominal muscle repair, and I would like to get a tummy tuck at the same time. I am pretty sure that my health insurance will cover the hernia repair. Is it possible for me to just pay the additional costs out of pocket for the tummy tuck portion of the surgery? Is this feasable? Would most surgeons agree to this? Thanks in advance for your insight!
The hernia should definitely be covered by your insurance. The Tummy Tuck can be done safely at the same time. The two procedures are nice to combine because it means only one recovery for you. You might even save a little money on the cost of the inpatient stay, if one is needed. Good luck
