Hi Dr.,

Just wondering, do you do hernia repair? I have noticed, more so recently, that I have a small hernia in my belly button at the top. (I can post a pic if you want) I can push it in and it will look fine until I suck my tummy in. No pain at all. Just wondering if I should just talk to my PCP about it or if it was something that you could deal with if and when I get my BA? Thanks!

The hernia is something that possibly could be done at the same time as the breast augmentation. It just depends on how large it is, what may be herniated through, etc. I would have to examine you to know if it was something that could be done at the same time or seperately.
