Thank you for sharing your excellent question. Assuming no healing issues since your hernia repair, and it has been several months to years, you should be fine to have an aesthetic procedure performed. Hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for your excellent question. It is best to answer your question during a face-to-face evaluation, when you can discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure, and you can have a physical examination to evaluate for that procedure. Provided that the hernia is healed completely, you should be a candidate for this procedure. I recommend that you find a board-certified, or board-eligible plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of similar patients whom have had this procedure. If you have any questions, call our office for assistance. Good luck!
