Answer: Hernia repair Often times hernias can be repaired at the same time as a tummy tuck. You want to seek a double board certified surgeon to have this performed. Only your surgeon can inform you as to why it was recommended that you have the two surgeries separated.

Answer: Hernia and TT Dear Lightbearer, a small umbilical hernia is something that can be fixed during a full tummy tuck procedure. I routinely repair these during my tummy tuck procedures. Not everyone feels comfortably repairing these however. A mini-tummy tuck does not reset the umbilicus which it looks like is what you needed to get the results you were looking for. I would have to examine you to be certain. Make sure to follow up with your plastic surgeon.
