I have an umbilical hernia and I'm having Liposuction in a month. Will my hernia cause any complications during procedure?

Well you should tell about your hernia to your surgeon, theres no risk if your surgeron is a good certificated plastic surgeon, you should fix both hernia and liposuction, at the same time .Its very easy to do it, don't waste your money and time, recomendation to your surgeron is, put his finger in the hole of the herina during the liposuction to prevent canulas introduced to your abdominal cavity,when finish the liposuction, fix the herniaif the hernia is small or big always its better put a mesh over the hernia

            I would not liposuction in the area of a hernia.  I would either repair the hernia first or avoid that area for liposuction.  Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

An umbilical hernia will not affect liposuction. With the patient recumbent it will be reduced and out of harms way during the procedure.
