Hello! I would like hips and more projection! I was pregnant 8 years ago and possibly have a hernia. I actually know I have a hernia because I felt it "pop" out while working out immediately after giving birth in 2014. I know that most ppl that have babies + hernias have a tummy tuck with a bbl of their abdomen isn't together, but I honestly do not want that...I'd prefer to just have a hernia repair, heal from that, and then proceed with a BBL. Agreed? Or no?

Answer: BBL and umbilical hernia You have an umbilical hernia (may have some more weakness of the tissue around it) which is very common. This may be repaired at any time (before, during or after a BBL and tummy tuck [TT] procedure. My issues are not with giving you advise to have it done pre-operatively (which is fine), my question is where are you going to get sufficient fat to perform a BBL. You appear to be quite skinny. When performing a TT, there may be liposuction of your flanks and back, but not of the front of your belly because the blood supply to the belly flap must not be interfered with. I agree with fixing your hernia first. Then asses for a BBL. Dr. Taranow

Answer: BBL with tummy tuck or abdominal liposuction Please consider a virtual consultation with a high definition body contouring specialist to determine whether you can get your BBL with liposuction or whether you need a tummy tuck to be done at the same time. This decision can only be made with an examination of your abdominal muscles.
