Brief Answer:
It is really no danger to her and doesn't require surgery that much!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

What she has is not responsible for the symptoms that she suffered from recently. Repairing this hernia at this time would be purely for esthetic reasons and not because it presents any dangers to her health. I will rather advise that you abstain from getting a surgery that is not ver necessary. Be calm and relaxed knowing that this poses no additional risk to your mother. The risk of operating on her is more than any benefits from the procedure and more so because she doesn't really need the surgery.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
