Incesional hernias are quite common, especially as we get older, or muscles get like swiss cheese, weaknd areas. I had 3 hernias repaired with my panni.

Yes, hernias are common and can be easily repaired at the time of tummy tuck. Larger ones can usually be detected before the surgery but the smaller ones often can't be felt.
