L inguinal hernia in groin. Is it safe to get lipo and/or tummy tuck? Could that be potentially life threatening?

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?
