What is the best procedure/treatment option for saggy skin and diastasis after pregnancy?

Patients who have loose skin and minimal fat fall more into the category of massive weight loss patients and are a unique category of tummy tuck candidates. Loose skin often stretches out after the tummy tuck and may appear loose again several months following surgery. A full tummy tuck can provide tightening of the rectus abdominus muscles as well.Consider a board certified plastic surgeon who is a member of ASAPS and one listed in Smart Beauty Guide.Dr. Claytor

You are the perfect person for a tummy tuck. You just have too much skin. No matter how much you exercise that skin will never go away. The muscle repair should give you a flat tummy with some hour glass shaping to your sides. It should be perfectly functional. Dr Rodger Shortt Oakville Plastic SurgeonAsst Clin Professor &Director of Cosmetic Surgery Training McMaster University

Hello, if you have very loose skin on the upper and lower abdomen plus a diastasis, the most effective treatment may be a full tummy tuck.  A plastic surgeon could evaluate your abdomen in person and confirm the best option.  Abdominal muscles do tighten after pregnancy but a significant diastasis may not resolve.

I would recommend, based on this information, that you consider a Tummy Tuck. Part of that procedure includes repairing the rectus diastases, which is the separation of the vertical rectus abdominal muscles. That also helps with the loose sagging skin. I will be happy to meet with you in consultation to discuss these options in person as well as risks and benefits, etc.Take care,Dr. Howell

From your photographs and description, you have the to problems which a tummy tuck was exactly designed to help. You should see a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss the surgery and your expectations.

Thank you for your pictures.  Physical exam would give the most definitive answers but a skin only tummy  tuck may be a good solution for you.  Please see several board certified plastic surgeons for evaluation.

Thanks for your question. A tummy tuck would benefit you by removing the sagging skin that resulted from pregnancy. Schedule a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon that has years of experience. All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

I recommend a tummy tuck with muscle tightening for your diastasis. Most of what would be removed would be skin and I don't believe any liposuction would be necessary. Thank you for sharing your picture!Melinda Lacerna, MD FACS

Thank you for posting your photos and your questions.  With the amount of sagging skin and the diastastis of your abdominal muscles from pregnancy, you would be a good candidate for a tummy tuck.  You should expect full use of the abdominal muscles to return once you are healed.  Your plastic surgeon will be able to fully explain the surgery possibilities and give you an in-depth recommendation for surgery.  Most insurance companies do not cover cosmetic surgery. Best wishes. 

You need a full
abdominoplasty.All of your excess,
loose skin will not be able to be removed.The muscles can be tightened and you can expect full use of them in the
future.
