If you have an abdominal hernia, can lipo be performed on your back fat and love handles?

I have good news. Having an abdominal hernia should not prevent you from having liposuction on your back or love handle region. I would, of course, avoid the abdominal region. Good luck!

Even if you wanted liposuction of the abdomen the presence of an abdominal hernia is not a contraindication. The surgeon would certainly have to be careful. Liposuction of the waist is not an issue.

You can have liposuction performed with a hernia, I suggest seeing an expert who performs many of these procedures.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Performing liposuction on your back and flanks should not interfere with your abdominal hernia. You should however, make sure you are examined by a board certified plastic surgeon to ensure the size and location of your abdominal hernia does not interfere with the liposuction you would like performed on your flanks.
