Diastasis Recti Repair and Umbilical Hernia Surgery Without Tummy Tuck?

September 23, 2013
Asked By:Mari1983 in Briarcliff Manor, NY

I am a thin fit female with a 2 yr old son. I have an umblical hernia and small diastasis 2-3 fingers at and below the belly button. I saw a great surgeon who suggested hernia and diastasis repair but no tummy tuck. He said I do not have any excess skin therefore, a TT would not be appropriate. Is this good advice for should I get the entire surgery?
