Hernia Forum - Inguinal hernia repair with Liposuction ?

I'm wondering during my small Inginual hernia repair if the doctor will lipo out the fat pad in the pubic area. I have very low body fat but havebeen unable to work off the fat in that area.
Not sure if a plastic surgeoun could do both at one time since they can repair just about everything else in that area.

Surgeons who repair inginual hernias are usually specialists in internal medicine, not cosmetic surgery. I don't think that you can get a two-in-one repair simultaneously...but ask your surgeon. It won't hurt to ask!
