I am considering a breast lift with implants and a tummy tuck. I just found out that I have a hernia near my belly button. Would I be able to have a tummy tuck after the hernia surgery – if so, how soon after?
A:
You may have a breast lift with implants and the abdominoplasty at the same time as the umbilical hernioraphy but the umbilicus may be put at risk. If they were performed separately I would wait approximately 6 months after the hernioraphy. The umbilicus is still put at risk.
