Answer: Liposuction After Hernia Surgery I appreciate your concerns, however previous hernia surgery is not a contraindication for liposuction, as long as the hernias have been repaired and are not still present. It is important to notify your plastic surgeon about this previous surgery and specific locations of the mesh. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to greatly increase your chances of the safest and best possible result. Good luck.

Answer: Liposuction and hernias There are a lot of variables here. What type of hernias? Where do you want liposuction. Posting pictures would help. Best option is having in person consultations with local board certified plastic surgeons. Mats Hagstrom, MD
