I'm 5'2" and 120 lbs. A year ago, I had twins weighing 6lb 7oz and 6lb 14oz. My skin was stretched to the max, which resulted to "twin skin" and severe diastasis recti. I've consulted two cosmetic surgeons. One said I need AlloDerm or mesh, and the other said I don't. In what cases can you say that AlloDerm or mesh is necessary with Tummy Tuck for diastasis repair? Do I really need it at $2000? I need to schedule this for next week; please help.
Picture was taken in a tub, so the separation is more noticeable.
Not necessary. All it does is increase the risk of infection and mesh in particular can give you the sensation of having a dinner plate on your belly -- it can be very firm and uncomfortable. Make sure your surgeon is certified by ABPS - the American Board of Plastic Surgery and good luck!
