Could I have liposuction in abdomen if had inguinal hernia that went away?

Nice857602
I want to get liposuction on abdomen and flanks. However, I heard that hernia's are contraindicated. I had a small Inguinal Hernia when I was pregnant over 12 years ago. It was never repaired because it went away. I have not had any issues or presence of hernia's since. Is it still there or does it need to be repaired even though it was so long ago?
