I’ve contacted a few plastic surgeons in my area and they don’t perform endoscopic tummy tucks. I don’t have any fat or loose skin but my stomach does pop out. I look extremely bloated. I believe this is caused by my diastasis recti. My stomach feels hard and it’s uncomfortable. I also have a lot of lower back pain. I had my second baby 18 months ago and it’s not getting better. Any recommendations for finding a surgeon who’ll perform this surgery?

Answer: No Such Thing There will be skin excess after your diastasis recti is repaired. If your pregnancy led to diastasis, then it also expanded your skin making it less apt to elastically contract, giving you a functional skin excess.

Answer: Choosing a surgeon Dear mjorge82, finding the right Dr. is extremely challenging especially with the number of online platforms and resources available. There a lot of great Dr's available. Make sure he/she is a board-certified plastic surgeon. Definitely check to make sure your choice specializes in the procedure you want and spend the time to read through patient testimonials. There is a number of different sites where you can check for reviews (Realself, yelp, google, etc.).You can always pick up the phone and call around also, find an office you feel comfortable with and set up a few consultations.
