Asked By:Jdoll82 in Islip, New York

Is it possible to get a hernia after a tummy tuck procedure where you get internal corset stitching of the upper stitching undoes OR perhaps the dr didn't stitch up high enough? my upper abdominal wall pops out as if I have a hernia. I never had this prior to surgery . Mt surgery was in May 2014.
