Can a hernia be fixed at the same time as a tummy tuck? &#8212;Judy<\/p>\n<p>A:\u00a0\u00a0 Hello Judy. That is a common question especially among men and women who have lost a lot of weight. It seems like ventral and umbilical hernias tend to be more common for patients who have experienced large weight fluctuations. These hernias can and likely should be repaired at the same time as a tummy tuck or comparable abdominal contouring procedures. By doing so, no additional incisions are created and only one healing process is experienced.<\/p>\n<p>I prefer to repair hernias without the use of mesh using only your own tissue. By doing so, we avoid the complications that can be associated with the used of mesh.<\/p>\n<p>Below is an example of a Fleur-de-lis tummy tuck and verntral hernia repair performed at the same time. As you can see the results can be quite dramatic.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/ask-the-surgeon\/ask-plastic-surgeon-dr-repta-fix-hernia-get-tummy-tuck-time\/attachment\/tummytuck\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-21972\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"aligncenter wp-image-21972 pk-lazyload\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"tummytuck\"  width=\"600\"  height=\"453\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/25045437\/tummytuck-750x566.png\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/25045437\/tummytuck-750x566.png 750w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/25045437\/tummytuck-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/25045437\/tummytuck-768x579.png 768w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/25045437\/tummytuck-200x150.png 200w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/25045437\/tummytuck-260x195.png 260w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/25045437\/tummytuck-380x287.png 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/25045437\/tummytuck-800x604.png 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/25045437\/tummytuck-80x60.png 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/25045437\/tummytuck-620x468.png 620w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/25045437\/tummytuck-83x63.png 83w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/25045437\/tummytuck-850x641.png 850w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/valleygirlblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/25045437\/tummytuck.png 900w\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p>All the best,<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/drrepta.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. Remus Repta<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/drrepta.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">drrepta.com<\/a><br \/>\n855-377-3782 (Dr Repta)<br \/>\n8900 E Raintree Dr Suite 200<br \/>\nScottsdale AZ, 85260<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>For more information on Dr. Repta at AAA Plastic Surgery,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.drrepta.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em><strong>click here<\/strong>.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\">For more information on Dr. Repta\u2019s tummy tuck and body contouring\u00a0procedures, please visit\u00a0<em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/scottsdaletummytuck.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">scottsdaletummytuck.com<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dr. Remus Repta,\u00a0Board Certified Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon of Scottsdale, answers the questions that you, the public, have&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":21972,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10911],"tags":[11190,11434,11436,10245,10922,10999,12015,8566,8749,10921],"class_list":{"0":"post-21970","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ask-the-surgeon","8":"tag-best-plastic-surgeon","9":"tag-best-plastic-surgeon-in-arizona","10":"tag-best-plastic-surgeon-in-phoenix","11":"tag-best-plastic-surgeon-in-scottsdale","12":"tag-dr-remus-repta","13":"tag-dr-repta","14":"tag-facelift","15":"tag-featured","16":"tag-plastic-surgery","17":"tag-remus-repta","18":"cs-entry","19":"cs-video-wrap"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ask the Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Repta: Fix a Hernia &amp; Get a Tummy Tuck at the Same Time?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Dr. Remus Repta,\u00a0Board Certified Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon of Scottsdale, answers the questions that you, the public, have submitted.
