Inguinal Hernia repair first or Tummy Tuck first?

Hello and thank you for your question. I recommend that the inguinal hernia repair be performed first.  If you are an appropriate candidate for a tummy tuck, this can be done through a low and short
incision, all completely below the bikini line. 
The belly button can be designed to look natural and have no scars on
the exterior.   Your muscles can also be
plicated resulting in a flat abdomen. 
Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of
real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate
their results. Best wishes and good luck.

Get the hernia done first if they can't be done together. If you have a poor scar if can be addressed at the time of the abdominoplasty. Good luck.
