After having twins and another child 11.5 months later, I've developed diastasis recti. I've previously undergone hernia surgery where a large mesh was installed. I'm apprehensive about getting a tummy tuck due to concerns about the prior hernia repair and mesh. Would the mesh need to be removed? Would my insurance cover such a procedure?
In most cases, there is no need to remove the mesh from the repair. Removing it can be challenging and may cause more harm than good. It is unlikely that the insurance company will cover the cost of a tummy tuck, but they may cover hernia-related issues. Your plastic surgeon will evaluate the previous surgery involving the mesh and recommend the best course of action. The presence of the mesh is not a significant concern.
