When I check for diastasis recti I don't have a big gap, I have done a lot of work in the gym on strengthening my core but I do have belly fat and not much loose skin. I was wondering if I need a tummy tuck or if I am candidate for lipo 360?
Answer: Lipo vs Tummy Tuck Hello, my name is Dr Igor Burko, and I am a Plastic Surgeon at SY Aesthetics in NYC. The shape of your abdomen on profile suggests you have a significant diastasis. The only way to correct a rectus diastasis is to repair it during a tummy tuck.

Answer: Tummy tuck with mesh From your photographs, you have an umbilical hernia and you have increased intra-abdominal pressure which is causing your abdominal wall to bulge forward. Liposuction would no be effective and you will need an abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement to create the hernia as well as reinforce the fascia. I recommend you continue with the strength exercises, particularly the core exercises. You can start wearing an abdominal binder as well.

Answer: Today's liposuctions with bodytiteRF have replaced most tummy tucks. It is more rare to need a tummy tuck now a days since lipo with bodytiteRF have done such a great job in getting rid of fat and skin tightening without needed to cut any skin at all.

Answer: Tummy tuck Your pictures suggest significant stretching of the muscle wall. Liposuction will not help this, and in fact may make it worse. Impossible to tell without a physical exam, but I suspect you have very little fat between the skin and the muscle wall, which is addressed with liposuction. The bulging you have needs to be addressed by muscle repair, and again, I don’t think liposuction will help it. At best liposuction will be a waste of money, and at worse make things look worse than they are now. I would recommend a tummy tuck just by looking at your pictures, without an exam.
