HI I have a Hiatal Hernia it's not big to were it need surgery, but My question is what;s the outcome II get the tummy tuck done and this hiatal hernia is here.
Answer: Considering a Tummy Tuck with a Hiatal Hernia: Potential Outcomes and Precautions Hi, thank you for your question. A tummy tuck focuses on the lower abdomen and primarily involves the removal of excess skin and fat, as well as tightening of the abdominal muscles. A hiatal hernia, on the other hand, is a condition where the upper part of the stomach bulges through the diaphragm, and it's usually located in the upper abdominal area. In most cases, a tummy tuck should not have a direct impact on a hiatal hernia, as they involve different areas of the abdomen. However, it's essential to discuss your specific situation with a qualified plastic surgeon during a consultation. They can evaluate your overall health, consider your hiatal hernia, and help you determine if a tummy tuck is a safe and suitable option for you. Remember, it's always best to consult with your primary care physician and the surgeon who diagnosed your hiatal hernia to get a comprehensive understanding of your unique situation. Thank you for your question, and I hope this information has been helpful to you. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen

Answer: Hernia Your hiatal hernia will not be even seen with your tummy tuck. The tuck is outside your abdominal muscles and the hernia is inside. The tuck will have no affect on your hernia.
