A hiatal hernia is not a problem with liposuction because it is internal. Umbilical hernias are an issue with liposuction because it involves the same area that is to be sculpted.
thank you for the question. The type of hernia that you were referring to is actually inside your abdomen between your stomach and esophagus. Therefore it does not affect your ability to have liposuction. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to see if you are a good candidate. Best of luck!
This type of hernia is actually around the esophagus near the diaphragm inside your body. Liposuction of stomach fat shouldn't pose an issue as long as you are otherwise healthy and any reflux issues from the hernia are under control. Good luck!
A hiatal hernia is due to a defect in the diaphragm which is the then muscle that wraps around the esophagus as it enters the stomach. The diaphragm separates the lungs (chest cavity) from the abdomen (digestive organs). Liposuction of the abdomen is much more superficial being between the skin and the abdominal muscles, so there won't be any problem having liposuction
Thank you for your question. Liposuction can be done when they have hiatal hernia. Liposuction is going to be on top of the muscle and hiatal hernia is internal. Please consult with a board certified PS of evaluation.
Have a hiatal hernia is not a contraindication for liposuction as it does not involve the abdominal wall. Any other type of abdominal wall hernia - ventral hernia, incisional hernia, etc may be a relative contraindication. During your consultation your plastic surgeon should be able to tell by your history and physical examination if you have any abdominal wall conditions that could interfere with your ability to have liposuction.Good luck!
As mentioned a hiatal hernia is not a contraindication to liposuction. An epigastric hernia involves the abdominal wall and may make liposuction risky. Be sure you know which you have.
A hiatal hernia is actually an internal hernia of your stomach and would not have any effect or impairment to you having liposuction of your abdomen. Best of luck.
A hiatal hernia is internal and should not cause a problem with liposuction as long as your symptoms are well controlled. As long as you are healthy otherwise, you should do well.
Yes, you will get differing answers because there is medical literature that is very clear on DVT risk and prevention and then there is your unique situation. I talk about this frequently with my weight-loss support group. I'll give you the medical studies and then I'll give you...
Thanks for the question. Generally, most patients can fly within 2 to 4 weeks after Tummy Tuck surgery. However, car or airplane travel should be avoided to prevent the risk of blood clots in the legs. I wish you all the best.
Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. Though a belly button is not "moved" during a tummy tuck procedure if its stalk is long it can be placed in a different position on the stomach as it comes through the skin. Belly buttons should be at the level of a woman's upper hip bones a...
