Can I have inguinal hernia repair, tummy tuck and breast augmentation at the same time?

I strongly suggest to my patients to have umbilical hernias repaired at the same time. I have not had any problems with that, but do caution my patients on what could happen.  It is possible that the inguinal has a higher chance of recurrence if done at the same time as an abdominoplasty as your tummy contents will be pressing a bit more.  I would let your surgeon guide your decision as they will know how significant your hernia is.

I would ask your surgeons how long they think each part of the surgery will take.  If it is less than 6 hours total, I would proceed.

Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.For safety reasons, to be a good candidate for BA+ TT and hernia repair at the same time, your labs and cardiovascular preoperative evaluation must be optimal.Therefore, you must be a healthy person, within an appropriate BMI and no history of diseases that increase the surgical / anesthetic risk degree.Finally, I recommend you a skilled certified plastic surgeon in body contouring surgery and experienced in cases like yours.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

An exam is needed to know for sure, but often times hernias can be corrected at the same time as a tummy tuck. Depending on your particular situation you may need two separate surgeons so coordination between them would be necessary.

Hi, there.  Breast augmentation and tummy tuck (mommy makeover) is commonly done at the same time.  If you want the inguinal hernia to be repaired at the same time, your plastic surgeon can work with a general surgeon so that all three procedures can be combined.  Your recovery will be from tummy tuck and hernia repair than breast augmentation.  I would expect that you would have more discomfort from tummy tuck.  Recovery/downtime varies depending on your pain threshold and type of work that you do.  Most of my patients make pain medicine for 1-2 weeks; they return to work after two week if they have desk jobs.  Please talk with your plastic surgeon about his/her post-operative recommendation.  Good luck.

Thanks for the question. i suggest to do hernia repair with the aesthetical procedure. every time your healthy. adding this procedure doesn't add risk nor recovery time or plan. we do combined procedure normally. if any doubt don't hesitate to ask.good luck!

If you are in good health and nonsmoker,this combination can be done under one anesthesia.It may require coordination between your plastic surgeon and a general surgeon if your plastic surgeon does not feel comfortable doing the hernia repair themselves(depends on their training and experience.)

If you are in good health without medical issues, you could be a good candidate for having multiple procedures at the same setting.  Adding a hernia repair should not change your recovery time.
