Correcting Results and Hernia After Liposuction?

June 7, 2009
Asked By:teejay0109 in Pennsylvania

I have been told that the hernias which resulted from Liposuction are correctable through surgery, but can anything be done to correct the original Liposuction as well? Can the hernias be corrected by a plastic surgeon or do I need to have two separate surgeons?
