I have a hernia located approximately 3 inches above my belly button on the left side. It has spasmed twice, causing significant discomfort that eventually subsides. Could this be a result of the liposuction procedure?
It is unlikely that liposuction would directly cause a hernia. Hernias represent a tear or weakness in the muscle layers of the abdomen, allowing abdominal contents to bulge through. Liposuction does not create a sufficient opening to cause a hernia, although it can potentially cause injury to internal organs. It is important to have a proper evaluation to determine the cause of your symptoms. Hernias typically do not cause muscle spasms, but they can cause severe pain if the intestines become trapped (strangulated hernia). I recommend following up with your plastic surgeon, or if they are not available, consulting with your primary care physician or a general surgeon for evaluation. Best of luck.
Hernias are typically caused by weakened muscles in areas unrelated to liposuction treatment. Liposuction itself should not cause a hernia, although existing hernias may become more apparent after the surgery. Best regards.
Liposuction is unlikely to cause a hernia. If you have concerns, it is best to see your primary care physician for a diagnosis and possible referral to a surgeon.
