I want lipo for abdomen. have a small umbilical hernia. Surgeon stated hernia is small may loose my belly button.

Hello smartin34 hope all is well, and that you are having a great start to your weekend, thank you for the question. My advice is that you first have the hernia investigated thoroughly, liposuction is beneficial for someone who is in good health and has worked hard to get in shape. I agree that the result of disturbing a hernia with a liposuction tube can be identical to a stab wound, and can result in loss of blood, infection or a complication. Make sure you seek a board certified plastic surgeon, Best of luck!

If the hernia is really small it would be possible to have liposuction without repair but to be sure I would recommend you see a hernia specialist to make sure there is no intestinal herniation.
