I will have a TumTuck, BreastAugm. in March with a Plastic Surgeon, but I just got from a General Surgeon a small InguinalHernia diagnosis, the Plastik surgeon will not repair the Hernia at the same time of TT, and told me that general surgeon should do it, Q:Wich of both ops is better to do first?
