Because it will cost me additional 2500k to bring a general surgeon in to do that. Dr please advise
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 repair and abdominoplasty (tummy tuck): Information Dear Ms. Katekynn,Thank you for your story and questions. Nothing substitutes for a personal evaluation and a face to face discussion of your options.Unfortunately with out photos or preferably a exam of your tissues I can can only comment based your comments Both the diastasis and umbilical hernia repair are completed in conjunction with a abdominoplasty( tummy tuck).+ the excess lower abdominal skin will be excised and the skin over the diastasis repair will lay down smooth+/- you will have a single supra public (covered by a bathing suit bottom and possible peri umbilical incision that is concealed by its location. Often the umbilical hernia can be repaired without making a peri umbilical incision.Many Plastic Surgeons are dual Bd. Cert.

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.
