I’m 33 with 3 kids. I workout but I still have a diastasis recti. I can put two fingers between my abdominal muscles. I also have a hernia from before pregnancy but now it’s worse after pregnancy. Im concerned about scarring but I’d like my body to look attractive. Is this a procedure I qualify for?

Answer: Depends on whether issues exist above your belly button as well If there is abdominal muscle separation above your belly button, then a full tummy tuck would be more suitable for you. If the separation is only below your belly button, then a mini would be sufficient.

Answer: Age 33, diastasis recti - do I need a mini tummy tuck or a full tummy tuck? More than likely a full tummy tuck is needed to access entire length of your /separation (diastasis recti) and to adequately remove the excess skin. A full tummy tuck will also give you a more defined hourglass shape.

Answer: Age 33, diastasis recti - do I need a mini tummy tuck or a full tummy tuck? Hi. You might be a good candidate for a mini tummy tuck where you float the belly button, meaning that you disconnect the belly button from the abdominal wall musculature and move it down just a small amount. This would allow access to give you full rectus plication from the bottom of your breastbone to the level of your pubic bone. For someone small like yourself with very little excess skin and almost no extra fatty tissue this would likely be very helpful for your abdominal wall musculature. I would recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon with good experience with these types of procedures to help you through the process.
