I had hernia and diastasis repair 3 months ago and my stomach looks just as distended, if not worse, than before surgery. PS said it could be that the fascia has come apart, that I have a lot of laxity; I’ve had 2 pregnancies/c sections, and back surgery 4 years ago where they used an anterior approach - so there has been a lot of disruption to the abdomen. Is there any way for my condition to improve? Will I need another surgery?

Answer: Can abdominal fascia laxity be repaired? Thanks for your question. You appear to be a good candidate for a tummy tuck. Tummy tuck, also know as abdominoplasty, is a procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen and to restore the weakened abdominal wall, giving a firmer and smoother appearance. We nearly always add liposuction to our tummy tucks to sculpt the body 360 degrees to achieve an ideal feminine figure. Tummy tuck is a very powerful technique in the right hands, and can have dramatic results if done correctly. You definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety. Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.
