Full Muscle Repair Without Tummy Tuck Incision?

September 18, 2013
Asked By:NewLeaseX2 in Oklahoma City, OK

I had my second child four weeks ago and i am already satisfied with my weightloss and skin elastisity. I have little excess skin that is only noticeable when i bend at the waist and suck in. My concern is repairing the damage done to my muscles from both pregnancies and the skin directly surrounding my belly button. Is it possible to get rid of the surrounding skin and do a full muscle repair thruogh the belly button? And would my muscles be fully functional after i heal? Thank you.
