A belly button hernia does not automatically rule out a Brazilian Butt Lift, but it must be evaluated before any abdominal liposuction is planned. The size of the hernia, whether it is reducible, whether there is pain, and whether mesh repair is needed all affect the safest plan.

For a small, uncomplicated hernia, repair may sometimes be coordinated with body contouring, but many surgeons prefer staging the hernia repair and BBL if the repair is larger or involves mesh. If you have increasing pain, redness, vomiting, or a bulge that will not go back in, you should seek urgent medical care. Otherwise, an exam by a board-certified plastic surgeon, and sometimes a general surgeon, is the right next step.

Before undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) or any other surgical procedure, it's crucial to address any underlying medical conditions or concerns, including a belly button hernia. Here are some considerations regarding getting a BBL with a belly button hernia:1. Medical Evaluation:• Prior to scheduling a BBL, you should undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation, including an assessment of the belly button hernia.• Your plastic surgeon will determine the severity of the hernia and whether it needs to be repaired before proceeding with cosmetic surgery.2. Hernia Repair:• In many cases, a belly button hernia will need to be repaired surgically, especially if it is causing symptoms or poses a risk of complications.• Repairing the hernia before a BBL ensures that your abdominal wall is stable and reduces the risk of complications during and after surgery.3. Timing of Procedures:• Depending on the severity of the hernia and the recommendation of your plastic surgeon, you may need to undergo hernia repair surgery before scheduling a BBL.• It's essential to follow your plastic surgeon's guidance regarding the timing of procedures to ensure optimal safety and outcomes.4. Safety Considerations:• Combining procedures like hernia repair and BBL may increase the complexity of surgery and the risk of complications.• Your plastic surgeon will assess the risks and benefits of combining procedures and make recommendations based on your individual circumstances.5. Open Communication:• Be sure to communicate openly with your plastic surgeon about any medical conditions, including a belly button hernia, and any concerns you may have about undergoing cosmetic surgery.• Your plastic surgeon will work with you to develop a treatment plan that addresses your goals while prioritizing your safety and well-being.In summary, it's possible to undergo a Brazilian Butt Lift with a belly button hernia, but it's essential to address the hernia first to ensure a safe and successful outcome. Be sure to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can assess your specific situation and provide recommendations.

Different plastic surgeons will have different opinions about doing liposuction on individuals who have umbilical hernias. I’ve seen some providers require patients have the hernia repaired before they do a liposuction, and I’ve seen other providers myself included who are happy to do a liposuction with the hernia in place.
Most hernia repairs are done by general surgeons. Most plastic surgeons have had some general surgery training and some will have finished and have Ford certification in general surgery and plastic surgery.
Some plastic surgeons may be comfortable doing an umbilical hernia repair, and others may not.
I suggest having multiple in person, consultations with plastic surgeons in your community. At which time you can ask them firsthand how they feel about your umbilical hernia.
Best,
