5'6, 118lbs - can muscle repair in a TT over-loosen over a period of time? (Photos)

Rectus diastasis repair is a key component of a tummy tuck, but it is important to take the surrounding muscles into consideration. The traditional tummy tuck procedure repairs the muscle by closing the space and reconnecting the muscles. However, many patients with rectus diastasis have concurrent weakness of their abdominal muses. Therefore to avoid a post-surgical bulge of the lower abdomen, I have developed a holistic approach called "Functional Aesthetics." It is an evolution of the conventional tummy tuck and is designed to build a beautiful and toned core.

It appears you have had a good outcome from your surgery. If you are concerned that the small lower abdominal fullness may be a recurrent diastasis, you should schedule a follow up appointment with your surgeon. To make this diagnosis will require a physical examination.

Thanks for your questions and photos. Generally speaking, it looks as though you have a nice abdominoplasty result. Few plastic surgeons would be quick to reoperate on a mild bulge such as what you demonstrate. I have seen some improvement with the use of EMSculpt and EMSculpt Neo. You may want to try this noninvasive option. Best of luck.
