Fixing Hernia as Part of Abdominoplasty

Body Contouring with Dr Bernard Beldholm

Hello everyone, I’m Dr. Bernard Beldholm, and in today’s episode, we're diving into an important topic that many may not consider when discussing abdominoplasty – the management and repair of hernias during the procedure.

As a specialist surgeon, I often encounter patients who, aside from wanting to improve their abdominal contour, are dealing with an underlying hernia that can complicate their situation. These hernias often present themselves in various forms, such as umbilical or incisional hernias, and can lead to discomfort or more serious health issues if left unaddressed.

In my practice, I take a holistic approach, aiming not just for aesthetic improvement but to ensure my patients’ overall health and well-being. During an abdominoplasty, we have a unique opportunity to assess and repair these hernias simultaneously. This dual approach can help in creating a flatter and firmer abdomen while alleviating potential pain and complications associated with the hernia itself.

Throughout this episode, I’ll share some of my experiences, discuss how we effectively repair hernias during abdominoplasty, and provide insights into post-operative care to ensure the best outcomes for my patients. So, if you’re considering an abdominoplasty and are wondering about the possibility of hernia repair, stay tuned!
