Question

I gave birth to twins 7 months ago and have an umbilical hernia. I wondered if you would be able to fix this as well as combine the treatment with a tummy tuck?

Answer

In a situation like this, I typically work together with the general surgeon who looks after the hernia repair. I tend to deal with the repair of the abdominal muscles fascia and correction for the contour of the abdominal skin. In some instances, the operation also includes liposuction to the flanks for a circumferential contour correction.
