I have approximately 2 fingers width separation in my rectus abdominis muscles as felt when running my fingers between the muscles in the "crunch" position. I am wondering if having this gap closed surgically will lead to a narrower waistline, per se?

You will have increased thrombosis with tummy tuck and liposuction. Even though you have an umbrella in your iliac vein, you can still have a deep vein clot and risk of acute compartment syndrome. I would choose more noninvasive, nonsurgical methods for reducing fat in your body.
This is a question for the surgeon who is taking care of you. He or she knows what has been done and how you've healed so far. They are your best resource at this point. Best of luck. Dean Vistnes.
