Can I get a BBL if I possibly have a small hernia? (Photo)

Question

I’ve always had a partial outtie belly button I can remember since I was 6. I don’t think it’s a hernia. But honestly I’m not sure. Never any pain or anything. Would this effect my BBL?

Dear porter._,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, it is possible to get BBl if you have hernia. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the pictures and provided information as well.
I dont think there will be a problem, actually you can get that corrected during surgery.
l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

Examination by a plastic surgeon and/or general surgeon should be able to diagnosis a umbilical/ belly button hernia.  Frequently hernias are repaired at the same time as a tummy tuck.  The hernia can be also be repaired during the same procedure as liposuction for the BBL.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Hello, thank you for your question. I think that hernias should be avoided. However, if you would like to  the hernia can be repair during the surgery. but the result for a BBL is really a function of how aggressively the surgeon will liposuction and transfer. Most patients get an immense benefit with maximal liposuction of the abdomen, sides, and back to obtain the smallest waist possible and then maximal fat transfer to the buttocks and hips. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Emmanuel Mallol Cotes, MD · Answer

Thanks for the question. 
In this regard, I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.
Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).
Kind regards
