It's been over a year since I gave birth, not really bothered by my stretch marks but why are the areas around my belly button sinking in, and my belly button sticking out? I believe I have diastasis recti? Could a tummy tuck fix this?
Answer: Sinking in around Belly Button Yes, you are correct. The “sinking in” is from diastasis recti. As significant as yours is, it is very likely to have to be repaired along with an abdominoplasty. This will not only fix the extra and damage skin, but also the indentation in your abdomen.

Answer: Changes after giving birth You are correct in saying you have diastasis recti. This means your paired vertically oriented rectus abdominus muscles have separated from one another causing your abdomen to look the way it does. A tummy tuck will fix this. In performing a tummy tuck, the rectus abdominus muscles are brought back together into a "youthful" re alignment. This should improve the appearance of your belly button and the tissues around it. Obtain a consultation from a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss further.

Answer: Umbilical hernia and diastasis rectus can be fixed by tummy tuck Your umbilicus appears to be protruding in a sea of retruded skin. It appears your fascia under your skin is stretched as is your skin. You would benefit by a skilled abdominoplasty or tummy tuck to fix your fascia, belly button hernia and improve your excess stretched out skin. See a board certified general surgeon or plastic surgeon concerning your hernia. Good luck....r

Answer: Diastasis - Tummy tuck The sunken appearance is caused by a diastasis recti which is a result of the muscles stretching and separating from pregnancy. Based on limited photos but without an examination, you appear anatomically to be an excellent candidate for a full abdominoplasty. The muscle separation is repaired in that procedure.Following the advice of anyone who would presume to tell

Answer: Rectus separation This is what we call rectus diastasis. The two vertical rectus muscles were stretched during your pregnancy and did not go back together. A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a cosmetic procedure which you may be interested in. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon for consultation. Good Luck!
