Suggest Remedy For Sagging Skin On Stomach, Pain And Spasms After Having Hernia Repair

Hi, I had hernia repair some time ago and now have pain and spasms..and the stomach has sagging skin on both sides...I need someone to find out why I am having this pain and would like this sagging leftover skin to be cut off with a tummy tuck or whatever. Cannot wear tight fitting pants nor can I wear underwear I am in too much pain..this particular doctor saw fit to pull all the skin into by belly button and as a result I have no belly button...I need something to be done with this..does it sound like there is a chance that all this can be accomplished..and I would hope my insurance would pay for the repair...I am in alot of pain. And when they look at my stomach it would be obvious what has to be done with this two flaps of skin hanging and it is also obvious to them why I am in pain wearing underwear or any tight garment...it s like everything has been stuffed above the belly button which I no longer have because everything was pulled through it.as a result my stomach looks more like a butt..Martha Truckner

Hi,

The reasons for undergoing abdominoplasty are numerous, including:
(1) men and women desiring aesthetic improvement of the abdomen
(2) women with significant skin and abdominal wall laxity following multiple pregnancies, or
(3) bariatric patients who have excessive skin and/or pannus following significant weight loss

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sam Salahia, Dermatologist
