I had two pregnancies with my youngest now 16 and the other 21. I'm 5' 7" at 154 lbs. Will I need lipo to get the best effect?
Answer: I have lots of stretch marks and umbilical hernia. Will a full TT remove them? Will the hernia help with cost? You will best benefit from a full abdominoplasty with liposuction as well. Your umbilical hernia repair will be covered by your insurance; however, that will be a small part of the cost. Good luck and be safe.John T.

Answer: Stretch marks, hernia and tummy tuck Many of your stretch marks would be removed with a tummy tuck. The hernia can, and probably should, be fixed at the same time. Most hernias are covered by insurance plans which might end up helping with the overall cost.

Answer: I have lots of stretch marks and umbilical hernia. Will a full TT remove them? Will the hernia help with cost? Tummy tuck with hernia repair and liposuction of the sides will likely produce the best result for you. The tummy tuck will remove most of the stretchmarks.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: TmmyTuck with Hernia Repay and Lipo Hello and thank you for your question. A tummy tuck procedure tightens the abdominal wall with sutures and removes all the excess skin below your belly button this way we can eliminate almost all your stretch marks. The hernia repair can be done during this procedure as well. For best results and a thinner waistline I recommend a tummy tuck with liposuction and hernia repair.Best of luck with your surgery.

Answer: TT and hernia repair You are a perfect candidate and I can envision a BEAUTIFUL result: flat abdomen and tapered waist after a full-extended Tummy Tuck where all of the stretch marks below your navel will be eliminated, your muscle will be tighten to achieve a flatter abdomen and small waist. During the procedure it is possible to do the hernia repair. Be encouraged. You will be in love with your new body. Dr. Cardenas
