Is it common to have inguinal hernia 1 year post op tummy tuck?

An inguinal hernia is not associated with having had a tummy tuck. This is considered a medical concern and should be evaluated by your primary care physician who will advise how to proceed. I hope this helps.

Hi thank you for your question. They are not normally associated. It is unlikely your tummy tuck contributed to the development of a hernia in the inguinal region.
Best wishes.

Thank you for your question.The risk of an inguinal hernia is the same with or without a tummy tuck performed. If you do have an inguinal hernia, it is most likely not associated with your prior surgery. 

Thank you for your question.  No, it's not common to have an inguinal hernia appear after a tummy tuck, but it can happen.  You may have had a weakened inguinal region beforehand, and only now have a true hernia.  It does not mean the abdominoplasty actually caused the hernia, and many people have inguinal hernias without a tummy tuck beforehand.  I would see your original surgeon about it to discuss next steps.Best,Dr. Dan KrochmalMAE Plastic SurgeryNorthbrook, IL

Tummy Tucks have no bearing on hernias. Hernias after  tuumy tuck have same incidence as hernias without tummy tuck.

Thank you for your question. Typically, no, this is not normal. It may be that you had a hernia prior to the surgery, and that you can just see it more after your procedure. Typically the incisions that are made are not *that* close to the area where you would have an inguinal hernia - but theoretically there is a potential that this can occur. However, this would be highly unlikely. I would suggest seeing your Plastic Surgeon and having him or her perform an examination. But, typically, no, this is not common. 

There should be no relationship between an inguinal or "groin" hernia and a tummy tuck.  The tummy tuck procedure does not involve any of the tissues or structures in the groin area.  To that point, a tummy tuck also does not do anything to prevent the formation of an inguinal hernia.  I would recommend evaluation by a general surgeon for treatment of your inguinal hernia if you have not already done so.  Good luck.
