Can Umbilical Hernia and Diastasis Be Fixed Without Floating Belly Button in Mini TT

If there is a definite umbilical hernia and need for diastasis repair how does the repair differ with mini vs full tt? Does stalk need to be cut to repair? What happens to stalk after repair and is there any danger in cutting stalk? I have asked doctor, but gotten no real answer so would love to know the real deal as the "idea" of "cutting the cord" bothers me! From what I have read any way it's done and even hernia repair requires cutting?

A: Tummy tuck The treatment of an umbilical hernias separate from the diastasis. However then cutting the ski around the umbilicus and fixing an umbilical hernia one needs to be aware of the blood zippy to the umbilicus. This can be addressed multiple ways including the use of a small mesh to repair the umbilical hernia from below.

Worried About Belly Button After Mini Tummy Tuck

I just had my mini TT about 2 wks ago. All went fine. The pain was less than during a c-section. I'm worried about the way the belly button looks. It looks like a line with two folds around it. My doc said to start packing it which I'm doing but once I remove the gauze and tape, it folds back into a line. I can't see how the skin will spread apart but I'm still hopeful. Is this the normal healing process for the belly button because the pictures that I've seen show very tight skin around the navel. Will time fix this???

A: Two weeks is not enough time for tummy tuck recovery

Let your skin relax over 6 months and then start looking at the area. Right now there is a lot of swelling and tension. Give it time.

Smart Lipo for Loose Abdomen After Mini Tummy Tuck?

I had Mini Tummy Tuck done 3 months ago. Now, my abs look loose, and it looks like I have cellulite. Will Smart Lipo help with this?

A: How to correct loose skin after mini tummy tuck

One has to ask why there would be loose skin after the surgical procedure if it is to pull the skin tight. The answer is often poor skin elasticity from sun, age, or genetics. SmartLipo or Laser assisted Liposuction could be used for the skin component only to stimulate the cells to produce more collagen and elastin.
