Answer: A sneeze is unlikely to undo a hernia repair.
Unfortunately, insurance does not cover a tummy tuck. Occasionally with documentation of recurrent infection they will pay for a panniculectomy (simply removing loose skin).#tt#tummytuck
The drain should not be removed until the drainage is reduced. Care has to be taken to insure that you do not get a drain infection. Continue to follow up with your plastic surgeon.
There are many patients who undergo a tummy tuck and then would benefit from lipo as well at a later time. 5 or 6 months between the two procedures is plenty of time to wait in my opinion. Go for it!
