I had an umbilical hernia repair when i was a child. I had lipo/bbl 6 months ago. The surgeon did not lipo the lower abdomen so i am left with a kangaroo pouch. My question is this: can i get my lower abdomen lipo suctioned with having an umbilical hernia repair or was this just my surgeon's preference? I'm considering round 2 lipo with a less aggressive surgeon. I am still trying to fix the fibrosis that developed after my surgery.

Answer: Liposuctiion Yes, you can have liposuction of the upper or lower abdomen after an umbilical hernia repair. However, from your photos the recommended procedure would be a tummy tuck. This would remove the excess skin, fat, and correct abdominal wall laxity. Be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation to learn more.

Answer: Liposuction Based on these pictures, it appears that you also have excess skin above and below your belly button. Liposuction alone, would not help you improve that, in fact, it could make it more noticeable. You probably would benefit from an abdominoplasty, but in order to decide that, I encourage you to undergo an evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon in your area. Also, it is important to identify if you have any recurrence of your hernia.
