Had mini about 2yrs ago, with muscle repair. Since mini tt I have noticed this ugly bulge pushing through along midline and it hurts, feels like a catching or stopping on top of the Doctor's work. Would like it to go away, can a full tt help get rid of this look and keep what's inside, inside. Can a PS take care of groin hernias at the same time for one time procedures?
