I developed a hernia years after my TT. Easy recovery, I am active, low body weight. Probably developed due to weight lifting. Report says: 'Tiny fat-containing ventral body wall hernia inferior to the umbilicus levellinea alba; Defect measures 3 mm. sac is slightly right lateral to the midlinemeasures 8 x 4 mm'. NP rec no surgery and stop exercising so it doesn't become worse. But for AESTHETICS what should I do? I do not want to compromise my TT result or give up weight lifting
