I gave birth to twins years ago & I'm now in need of a tummy tuck. I have loose skin, diastasis-recti, & two epigastric hernias in my upper abdominal area around 2 inches wide (I had an umbilical hernia repaired in the past & I just recently found out about the other 2). I know that if I went ahead & had the hernias repaired without having a tt, it's possible they could reoccur because I have no support from my muscles. Can I find a surgeon that can do this for me? Is it too difficult to do?

Thank you for the picture.How long ago was the surgery? this is a question that might be important in order to let the healing process benefit the belly button. If the answer is more than 12 weeks, then I would suggest to continue with the laser treatments until they're all completed.Dr. Campos
