I have 3 kids. (28 years old, 139lbs 5'3") my primary told me I have DS, My gyno told me I do not have it. I'm sure my lower stomach is most likely fat, but I have this bump on my upper stomach that makes me look pregnant still. Does this look like DS to you? Would this be fixable with a mini tt? My skin is still tight`

Answer: Diastasis Recti Diastasis recti is the seperation of your rectus muscles. For any woman that has had children they will have some component of diastasis recti. Considering the outward bulge you have of your abdomen despite being very small and thin i would very confidently say you have a component of Diastasis recti. Your skin does not have a significant amount of laxity. I would recommend a modified tummy tuck that would allow us to fix the diastasis remove a little bit of skin laxity but would avoid placing a scar around your belly button.
