This 48-year-old woman was interested in a tummy tuck procedure to address her abdominal concerns and correct her hernia. She scheduled a consultation at Ann Arbor Plastic Surgery and her Board-Certified Plastic Surgery decided she was a good candidate to have her tummy tuck and hernia repaired at the same time. The team at AAPS streamlined the referral process to a well-regarded general surgeon for evaluation of her hernia.The patient’s umbilical hernia was repaired during her tummy tuck in a combination procedure with the general surgeon, enabling her to have a single recovery period for both procedures. All of her follow-up was conducted at AAPS, also saving her time with appointments and giving her more time to spend with her family. She is extremely pleased with her results.
