Posted under Tummy Tuck q&a

Tummy tuck with previous mesh hernia repair. Would this prevent the surgeon from being able to perform a muscle repair?

karald
I am planning to have a tummy tuck but I had a ventral hernia in my central lower abdomen 6 years ago. This was repaired with onlay positioned 2x3cm permanent mesh. Would this prevent my surgeon from being able to perform the muscle repair part of the surgery? I have had 4 c sections and suffered severe polyhydramnios in my first pregnancy so believe I will need muscle repair to achieve good aesthetic results.
