Is a hernia after liposuction common?

The liposuction could not have caused this hernia, if it is one. It sounds as if you are swollen and have healing. Id suggest venus legacy or velashape treatments and a proper hernia evaluation.  Please trust your sugeon.  Best, Dr. Emer.

its uncommon.   get an ultrasonography to rule out. usually this doesnt happen and is not a common complaint

Hernias around the mons pubis are rare.  Some swelling and hardening of the tissues is common following liposuction and will resolve.  Would speak with your plastic surgeon.  If you are still concerned, a CT scan or an ultrasound would be the easiest method to radiographically rule it out.  I suspect that you have simply strained those muscles and it should improve over time. 

I have not heard of liposuction causing a hernia.There have been cases of patients having belly button or umbilical hernias that become more visible after liposuction.A hernia around the mons pubis is really not possible.People do get inguinal hernia, but those are over on either side of the mons pubis.If someone has had previous abdominal surgery with an incision in the midline, then it is possible to develop a hernia where the incision was. This is referred to as a ventral hernia.Typically, hernias do not give pain with the exception of something called an incarcerated, or strangulated, hernia.In such cases, patients have a continuous pain and can't get sick very quickly.I'm glad you checked in with your plastic surgeon.Please let him or her know if you have any changes.My best guess is that you do not have a hernia, and your symptoms will get better with time. Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.

Thank you for the question.i think if you have a hernia indeed it was probably there before the surgery.but if your surgeon have evaluated you and does not think of a hernia you should be ok,a sonography of the abdominal wall can be of help, ask your surgeon and maybe you can do the text and feel more safe.
