I Have an inguinal hernia in left groin over 18 yrs. Does not bother me. I have a 9 yr old. Even throughout pregnancy I was still ok. Is it safe to get lipo in that area and/or tummy tuck? could that be potentially life threatening?

Answer: Hernia and liposuction An inguinal hernia is usually lower than what would be treated in abdominal liposuction but it its probably a good idea to address that first. Good luck.

Answer: Hernia and tummy surgery It is always wise to discuss the presence of existing scarring, previous surgery or the presence of hernias with your plastic surgeon. If he is aware of the hernia, he should be able to avoid any complications. It is true that in less experienced hands both liposuction and tummy tuck surgery carry with it higher risks if a hernia is present, so it is vital that you do your research well.
