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?

Answer: Liposuction and hernias Anytime you have a hernia diagnosis, even with or without planning on doing any plastic surgery you should stay on top of it and do the necessary imaging studies or evaluations to check if it actually was a hernia or not. Because any hernia needs to be surgically treated and repaired to avoid any possible complications. And if you are planning on doing a liposuction it’s a must to have a general surgeon evaluation on the hernia first.

Answer: Hernia the hernia is not an impediment to perform a liposculpture, however, for the patient's peace of mind, an abdominal ultrasound is always suggested.
