Would hiatal hernia repair with a general surgeon affect the cosmetic side of abdominoplasty?

July 18, 2022

I had a tummy tuck 6 years ago and now I have a hiatal hernia. My general surgeon suggested robotic hernia repair with mesh. He wants to do a 10 x 10 of mesh to also fix other weak spots in my abdomen. Will the robotic repair affect the cosmetic side of my tummy tuck? Will I need another tummy tuck? Also my muscles were not tightened last time because the surgeon didn’t want to work with previous mesh from an incisional hernia repair that was repaired 23 years ago
