Can I have lower abdomen liposuction if I had an umbilical hernia repair previously? (photos)

June 2, 2022
Asked By:mrsstaten in Rocky Mount, North Carolina

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.
