Answer: Yes, both procedures can be done at the same time Umbilical hernias are quite common and occur in the setting of a previous surgery, pregnancy, or diastasis recti. We treat umbilical hernias with or without correction of diastasis recti using a combination approach that corrects redundant skin in the lower abdomen and around the belly button. If there is a lot of skin, we would use a tummy tuck scar whereas smaller corrections can be performed using just the belly button incision which is well hidden inside your belly button.

Answer: Umbilical hernia Most plastic surgeons can repair an umbilical hernia at the time of the tummy tuck. I'm not sure why your surgeon needs a second surgeon to do that unless it is particularly complicated.

Answer: Umbilical hernia Yes, umbilical hernias are commonly performed with tummy tucks. If the hernia is large, mesh may be placed to strengthen the repair. Plastic surgeons or a general surgeon can perform the hernia repair component of the surgery.

Answer: Can a plastic surgeon repair an umbilical hernia at the same time as a tummy tuck Hi Katekynn,If the hernia is small, there should be no problem. Your plastic surgeon should be able to tell on physical exam but if there is any doubt, an ultrasound should determine if the hernia will need a mesh repair or not. If a mesh is needed, it might be better to have a general surgeon perform this part of the procedureHope this helps,Dr. Christine Rodgers
