Will doctors be able to use my csec scar, I don’t want to have two scars and end up looking like Frankenstein. I have 2 small kids that I still carry around, how long is the recovery and how painful? I’m allergic to nsaids so all the good painkillers/anti inflammatory drugs are unavailable to me.

Answer: Tummy tuck candidate Dear DRDR2020, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: I have an umbilical hernia/diastasis/atrophy. Will a mini tummy tuck fix my belly? Scared of the scar and recovery. (photo) Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. It appears that you have muscle and skin laxity present above and below the bellow button. In most cases this requires a full tummy tuck to fully address, but this relies on an in-person examination to assess the degree of excess tissue present. At times with limited tissue a mini-TT and an incision into the belly button can be used to avoid a full tummy tuck. See a specialist in consultation to discuss the specifics.
