I have a large incisional hernia for which I have been referred to a surgeon to discuss surgery. My hernia is a result of a surgical site infection from my last op which involved an incision across my bikini line.
My last consultant told me he suspected that I might be at risk of infection due to the fact that my tummy overhangs following 2 pregnancies. Its hardly surprising that I am now worried this may happen again.
I have read of people having a tummy tuck at the same time as a hernia repair, but most of these seem to be in the US. Has anyone been offered this option here in the UK and if so what were your experiences of the operation and recovery period?
