Would a small fat containing umbilical hernia be a contraindication for abdominal smart-liposuction? (Photo)

A hernia is a real contraindication to liposuction in that area unless you have it repaired at the time of the liposuction procedure.  Injuring the hernia contents could be catastrophic and is not worth the risk.  Sculpting could be performed over the abdomen but the area adjacent to the hernia would have to be well-avoided.  Your waist and sides could be sculpted and the anterior abdomen left alone.  Hernias can become an emergency and it's pretty easy to fix them electively.  So if you're truly considered sculpting of the tummy then have the hernia repaired.   

Hi... thank you for the question and photo... An umbilical hernia is not a contraindication for a liposculpture, and this could be fixed in the same procedure. 

Hello, hernias are not a contraindication for a lipoesculture, and most plastic surgeons are able to fix such hernia and do the liposuction at the same surgery. Best wishes.

Umbilical hernia is a relative (not absolute) contraindication for liposuction in the area close to the hernia. Liposuction can still be performed if lots of care is taken to avoid coming in contact with it.I hope that helps and best regards, Dr. Sapijaszko.

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided
information as well.. This is the surgical
procedure that revolutionized cosmetic surgery becoming one of the most
performed cosmetic procedures. Subcutaneous tissue or fat is removed in order
to contour the body in a way that is harmonious and pleasing to the senses. It
can be performed in almost all regions of the body such as the neck, chin,
abdomen, back, buttocks, thighs, arms and ankles. Usually done through a small
incision in the skin through which a cannula connected to a vacuum is applied,
it can be performed alone or in combination with other procedures. After
liposuction your body is going to be really swollen for at least 2 to 4 months
after your surgery. It is important for you to wear your compression garment
for at least 6 months, the first 3 months 24/7 and then the last 3 months at
least 12 hours per day for your body get use to not having the faja for so many
time. When you remove it, your body can get swollen and also you can have pain.
Remember to also compress your body to prevent a seroma which is an
accumulation of liquid that has to be drained, it is hard to touch and also
really painful. Bruises are completely normal for almost 3 months from surgery,
that’s why is better for you to use a bruising cream and apply it all over your
body 3 times a day. To prevent bad circulation and swollen legs, use
compression socks. Brazilian butt lift can be performed with the same procedure
and for a month it will be swollen and it will drop a little bit without losing
it’s shape if you use your garment.. If you’re going to perform liposuction on
your inner, outer, anterior, lateral, postetior thighs, be careful and consult
with your surgeon what’s best for you, sometimes we have more extra skin than
fat, that can cause severe sagginess on our legs, which can be only be reversed
performing a thigh lift…
