Diastis Recti Scarring - is there any way to avoid the long scar from a tummy tuck?

Thank you for this question. A standard tummy tuck incision goes from hip to hip in the bikini line in order to remove enough extra skin. This is similar to how a tailor uses a seam to adjust clothing. If you have minimal loose skin which is located beneath your belly button then a mini-tummy tuck can be done through a smaller approximately 5 inch incision. The separation of your muscle will be repaired through a small tunnel. Please be advised that this is a great procedure but only for a small subset of patients. I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. To provide a valid medical opinion I will need to see pictures of you body from different angles, to evaluate if you are a candidate for a Full Tummy Tuck or a Mini Tummy Tuck.
I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results. Respectfully, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
