I would like to avoid diastasis repair for quicker healing. I have small children, and not a lot of help. I understand that I may not be able to dive the bet results, but my flap is my main concern along with some ft deposits. (Lipo would take care of). Are there plastic surgeons that will honor the request for no muscle repair. Thanks

Answer: Tummy tuck without muscle plication? Thank you for the question. Specific advice can only provide be provided to you after a complete history, physical examination, and a full communication of your goals. Some general thoughts however may be helpful to you: as you know, the tummy tuck procedure typically involves plication of the abdominal wall muscle that have spread during pregnancy or weight gain/loss. You will undoubtedly be able to find plastic surgeons who will do the tummy tuck procedure for you (without muscle plication); the real question would be whether or not you will be pleased with the outcome… IN MY OPINION, omitting this part of the procedure for the vast majority of patients who present for consultation will likely leave them with continued abdominal wall laxity and (again in my opinion) a less than optimal result. Make your decisions carefully…

Answer: Tummy tuck without muscle plication? TT without muscle repair may make the recovery easier, but, if you have laxity in that area, the result will be better with plication. In general, the muscles should be brought to anatomic norms. The smaller the separation, the less tightening required and probably the less discomfort. Swelling will occur irrespective of muscle repair, and almost every patient requiring a TT will benefit from the muscle repair even though you may require a revision after another pregnancy.
