A physical exam will let me know if you need muscle plication. If you do, we use a local anesthesia post op that gives you three days of pain relief. So don't worry .
Thank you for the question.If a tummy tuck is the procedure diagnosed to be the best one for your case, it will include abdominal muscle repair. This really depends on how much skin laxity you might have when your PS gives you the evaluation.Dr. Campos
