Can Tummy Tuck and Hernia Repair Be Done at the Same Time by One Doctor?

Asked By:milan123 in philadelphia pa

Hello I am 22 years old and recently had a baby. I am left with stretch marks and loose skin. My abdominal walls are separated and my bellybutton now sticks out. I was told I could have an umbilical hernia. Can a tummy tuck and hernia repair be done at the same time by one doctor? If so what is the percentage of major complications occurring in a generally healthy person after this surgery. Thanks
