I have no stretch marks and I have fairly tight skin. I have very severe diastasis. I'll be having a breast augmentation, and was wondering, is it possible to also have a Tummy Tuck done with the incision under the breasts, not from one side of the hip to the other?
Answer: Consider a though the belly button abdominal wall tightening procedure! As you'll notice above, there is general disagreement about the procedure you're considering. If skin is not an issue on your abdomen, you should consider having an abdominal wall tightening (rectus diastasis repair) through an incision placed only in the belly button. You do not need additional scars in the pubic area or underneath the breasts. The procedure takes about 60-90 minutes and can accomplish the same thing from an abdominal wall tightening perspective that a full abdominoplasty can! It can provide the exact same corsette type effect. It can be done with a endoscopic assistance or simply with an adequate lighted retractor. Your breast implants can be placed throught the same incision (although I personally am not a fan of the transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA). Good luck in your research process! Dr. Kaufman

CONTACT NOW Answer: About the Mommy Makeover Procedure A Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures to bring a woman’s body back to the way she looked prior to pregnancy. Most commonly some variation of a #TummyTuck and #BreastSurgery are performed. Additional procedures can include liposuction, umbilical hernia repair. The most common #breastprocedures include #mastopexy or #breastlift, #breastaugmentation, or #breastreduction. #Combined operations are often performed with our #Gynecology colleagues. Tubal ligation is a common post pregnancy procedure which is done at the time of many of the surgeries included with a #MommyMakeover. If you require a gynecologic operation or study (laparoscopy) and are considering a plastic surgery procedure, discuss these issues with your physician and board-certified plastic surgeon. Also, combining these #procedures may decrease anesthetics, costs, and recovery time. Your procedures should be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for a revision surgery. It is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.

Answer: Minimizing CombinationTummy Tuck and BA Scars Because you have tight skin rather than using the smaller breast scars to correct the diastasis recti (typically a bit worse below your belly button than above it, I would recommend using the tummy tuck scar as access to insert your breast implants thereby having no scars on your breasts. #Diastasisrepair#BAwithTT

Answer: A tummy tuck is rarely performed through an incision under the breasts.
The scars of this type of operation are usually unacceptable. It is occasionaly done in massive weight loss patients as a secondary procedure to an extended abdominoplasty. I personally have never used the approach in any other patients.

Answer: Reverse Tummy Tuck or Abdominoplasty Some people call this the reverse tummy tuck. It tends to leave a more visible scar then the coventional tummy tuck. The muscle repair cannot always be completed through the upper abdominal scar but it can be accomplished through limited pubic or umbilical scars.

Answer: The short answer is maybe If your major procedure is the breast augmentation you should probably have that done with incisions at the fold beneath the breast or at the areolar border. At the same time if you have a major diastasis of your rectus muscles, but minimal skin excess, a nice procedure is through a short pubic scar (as with a c-section) and a small incision at the belly button through which an endoscope can be introduced to help visualize and repair the stretched out fascial tissue. Alternatively, if there is minimal loose skin but it is mostly in the upper abdomen area, sometimes a "reverse abdominoplasty" is indicated to pull the skin up at the breast folds rather than through a long incision in the pubic region.
