Will a laparoscopic or tummy tuck procedure deliver better results while correcting a hernia and Diastasis recti? (photos)

Asked By:Girlmamax3 in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Deciding how to fix my DR/hernia. I’ve consulted with a plastic surgeon (TT) and a general surgeon (laparoscopic repair). Both say they are the best option. I’m torn. General surgeon would be covered 100% by insurance. However not convinced result will look as good as TT. I don’t have stretch marks or much extra skin. 5’4” and 135 lbs. I had triplets, my stomach sticks out considerably but my skin is still tight. Have 3-4 finger gap. Will my skin bunch and look worse with laparoscopic repair?
