What is the best option to repair the hernia and to have the loose skin above the bellybutton removed/improved. I have been to two doctors, one suggested just the hernia repair and that he would be able to get a small amount of skin removed, the other said the hernia repair would not remove enough skin and that a mini tuck would be able to get more of it but still not all of it. I have some loose skin when I bend over and I have 1-2 finger diastasis. I do not want a full tummy tuck.
