I had ventral hernia surgery 2 years ago and the surgeon put in a mesh I've also had 2 c-sections can I still get a tummy tuck.
Answer: Tummy Tuck after Hernia Repair and C-Section Hello,Thank you for your question. Yes, tummy tuck surgery should be possible for you but your surgeon will want to know the details of your mesh and previous surgery. IO recommend that you book an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure.All the best

Answer: Tummy tuck after hernia repair Thank you for your question. Yes, it is possible to perform a tummy tuck with existing C-section scars and previous hernia repair. Depending on your existing incisions, the surgeon may decide to incorporate a vertical incision as well (fleur-de-lis) if you have significant skin excess. Good luck.

Answer: Tummy Tuck after hernia repair with mesh It would be important for you to see a board certified plastic surgeon to assess your abdominal wall and to see what scars you have. If the mesh is placed deep it should not be a problem to have a tummy tuck as long as you are a good candidate with excess skin etc.

Answer: Tummy Tuck after hernia Generally it is ok to have TT after hernia surgery. See a board certified plastic surgeon who understands these hernia repairs in addition to TT. If the mesh is deep to muscle, which it should be, then it's fine. Bring your operative reports and records from your hernia repair to your visit. All the best!
