It is tender to the touch. Thanks in advance. I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Hernias are a weakness of the abdominal wall. Liposuction is usually done between this wall a the skin.
Hernias can exist before the liposuction and get larger on their own.
Most surgeons board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery have extensive General Surgery background and are comfortable with this evaluation. This is a good question for her doctor or someone who can examine her. I hope this information proves of some use. If my office can be of further assistance, please let us know. My staff and I try to ensure the comfort of our out of town guests during their consultations and procedures.
