I am a mom of 3, 28 years old (5'3" 139lbs) I had my last child 2 years ago, and ever since I had him, my stomach looks like this. My stomach is not squishy. You feel more muscle than fat, except towards the bottom. I have been checked for diastasis recti and have been told by my pcp that I do have it (last year) more recently I went to my gyno and asked her to check and she said I do not have it. I have also checked myself & have a 1 finger space. Would a mini tt help?

Answer: Hello Hello, only with the photos you can see that the abdominal muscles are flaccid, they need to be repaired, make them firmer so that your abdomen looks flat

Answer: Tummy tuck with mesh A mini tummy tuck would not be helpful. Your abdominal wall is quite weak from the 3 pregnancies. If you are not planning future pregnancies, I recommend abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Tummy tuck Dear nikkyg123, a mini tummy tuck is great if you are just looking to flatten the skin below the belly button. It does nothing for the skin above the belly button. A full tummy tuck address all of the skin laxity and abdominal wall laxity. It repositions your umbilicus as well. It costs more and has more downtime associated then either of the above. I would recommend consulting with a plastic surgeon that can go over in detail these three options and spends time answering your questions.
